![]() “It felt odd being behind plexiglass but overall it didn't change what a joy it was to be able to play a show with a live and captivated audience. Songwriter Jimi Davies, who played the next night alongside Bryan Ewald, agreed. The venue has done an excellent job with the reopening!”ĭublin 5 played to a sold out crowd at Rams Head when the concert venue was allowed to reopen in September. “Once we got going, though, it all began to feel very natural. “We always have a lot of interaction with the crowd, so playing behind the plexiglass did take a little getting used to,” says Shook. “The staff have really done an amazing job of finding the balance between putting everyone’s safety first, while still giving the bands and the crowd a normal concert experience.” Any worries that the barriers would keep the crowd from enjoying themselves were quicky put to rest. “It felt amazing to be back on stage at Ram’s Head On Stage,” says Dublin 5 drummer Kevin Shook. They started off on September 25 with sold-out show by local band Dublin 5. It may look a little strange at first, but it gets the job done. So they approached it from two sides: pushing the tables back at least 12 feet from the performers, and adding a plexiglass perimeter around the stage for further protection. With an airborne illness, the close proximity to the band became a potential liability. “We have also switched to a new ticketing system which allows for contactless entry, and hydroxylators were installed to sanitize the air in the venue,” she says. Masks are required at all times for staff, and at all times for guests when not eating or drinking. Previously, you could buy a single ticket and be seated with people you don’t know, but now “you are only seated with people you know all seats at a table must be purchased by the same party,” says Bundy. With the new capacity set at 100 people, they removed a number of tables to ensure social distance. Rams Head typically seats the audience at four- to six-seat tables, gathered around a low stage. “When the County Executive announced venues could reopen at a limited capacity, we put our reopening plan in place,” says Royal Bundy, VP of Marketing for the Rams Head Group. When they reopened the Tavern for dining at the end of May, they were also working behind the scenes on a plan for the theater. Like all music venues in Maryland, Rams Head On Stage closed their doors with the stay-at-home order in March. The reopening of Rams Head On Stage is cause for celebration for fans of live music. One of the premier music venues on the East Coast, audiences and artists alike love the intimate room, which in normal times seats 312 in a cabaret-style dinner theater, with wait staff serving food and drinks table-side during the show. So the reopening of Rams Head On Stage is a reason for cautious celebration. For live music fans like me, the loss of concerts has been one of the hardest things about the pandemic. Please hold on to your ticket until a new date is announced.Īs we said before. *Postponed Shows - We are currently working on rescheduling these shows.
