The New Pornographers live in Towson

Experience The New Pornographers live on September 30th

The New Pornographers are scheduled to perform at The Recher in Towson, Maryland on September 30, 2026. The band is a Canadian indie rock group known for its intricately arranged, melodic songs often characterized by dual male/female vocal leads – Carl Newman and Kathryn Calder – alongside bright instrumentation and a blend of power pop, baroque pop, and alternative rock influences. Formed in Vancouver, British Columbia in 1999, they have released eight studio albums to date, gaining critical acclaim for their consistently strong songwriting and energetic live performances.

The Recher is a long-standing music venue located in Towson, Maryland. Originally opening in 1997, it quickly became a prominent space for both local and nationally touring acts, particularly within the alternative and independent music scenes. Throughout its history, The Recher has hosted a diverse range of artists across genres including rock, punk, metal, and hip-hop. It's recognized for its intimate setting and relatively small capacity—approximately 350 people—which fosters close connections between performers and audiences. The venue underwent renovations in 2023 following a period of closure but remains dedicated to live music presentation.
