Cheap Trick plans museum, concert venue on Record Row
Cheap Trick, the Rockford band behind the ’70s hits “Dream Police†and “I Want You to Want Me,†announced Wednesday that it will “curate†a museum and music venue in a former Buick dealership at 2245 S. Michigan in the emerging Record Row-Motor Row district.
Band manager David Frey said in a statement that Cheap Trick Chicago will be “a one-of-a-kind eatery, unique musical instrument museum, radio station, and performance space as well as rooftop and outdoor and event space in the future Music Row in Chicago.â€
The project was prompted in part, Frey said, by expanding activity at nearby McCormick Place. Last month unions and management agreed to new work rules at the conventon center that will boost occupancy levels from 40 to 75 percent within two years, according to Ald. Bob Fioretti (2nd).
The announcement is a continuation of Fioretti’s vision to link the historic Chess Records site, 2120 S. Michigan; the empty Vee-Jay and Brunswick Records site, 1449 S. Michigan, and vacant auto dealerships into an entertainment district that would blend history, recording studios, hotels and restaurants.
“I think we could put the Cheap Trick project together by next year,†Fioretti said Wednesday.
