HAMMERJACKS

PROBLEM

In 1977, the original Hammerjacks venue opened in downtown Baltimore, Maryland and operated until its closure in 1997. Through the years, Hammerjacks hosted artists such as Guns n’ Roses, The Ramones, Dave Mathews Band, Iggy Pop, Blondie, Joan Jett, Iron Maiden and more. Now the nationally known iconic Hammerjacks is making a comeback. So how can we take a historic brand and make it relevant to today’s music fans while delighting the old?
