According to an article from Vanyaland, Great Scott's booking agent Carl Lavin is working with the Salem-based investment platform Mainvest to try to raise enough funds to open the Allston club back up. The post mentions that Lavin has already agreed to terms with Great Scott owner Frank Strenk to transfer both its liquor license and intellectual property, while hoping to work out a lease with building owner Oak Hill Properties. Lavin and Mainvest are looking to raise at least $150,000 and are currently at around $103,000 as of this writing with 80 days left in the fundraiser.
Great Scott, which had closed temporarily in the middle of March due to the stay-at-home advisory issued by the state of Massachusetts, was told by its landlord that its lease would not be renewed and announced that the closure would be permanent around May 1. The club started out in 1976 and became one of the most popular music club in the region over the years.
The address for Great Scott is 1222 Commonwealth Avenue, Allston, MA, 02134.
