With most permitting in hand and a planned roster of regional and national musical acts up their sleeves, a group of Vermont promoters plan to open doors next month on the property formerly home to the Outerland nightclub.

Remaining red tape notwithstanding, the owners of Nectar’s nightclub in Burlington, Vt., aim to launch the club mid-June, operating under the same name.

Edgartown selectmen granted a seasonal liquor license and several related permits with no fuss at a public hearing Tuesday. The airport commission, owners of the building, approved a sublease earlier this month.

Christopher Walsh and Noel Donnellan, both 25 per cent owners in the Burlington business, brought their lawyer, Edgartown attorney Howard Miller, with them to the Edgartown hearing, but they didn’t need him as it turned out.

“We had this whole presentation ready but there were no questions. Everyone’s done everything to expedite this,” Mr. Walsh told the Gazette. “Up in Burlington, we still have to jump through hoops every time we renew the liquor license. But it’s so obvious people want a higher-end music venue.”

Mr. Walsh was tight-lipped on whom they have booked for June.

“We need to keep a cap on it because nothing’s guaranteed,” he said, “But we’re not exclusive about programming; we’ll have bluegrass, reggae, blues, and we want to have hip-hop shows this summer.”

They are courting big ticket performers too.

“We thrive with the college kids but we’ll be trying to do some national headliners, you know, we’re looking at Willie Nelson and Bob Dylan’s tour and seeing if that could fit into the Vineyard,” he said.

Nectar’s in Burlington, running for more than 30 years, is famous as the venue where the jam band Phish made its start. They will use the same name for the Vineyard club.

Nectar’s will sublease the building from Barry Rosenthal and Mona Rosenthal who ran Outerland for three years before shuttering the nightclub last fall. The building was previously home to the Hot Tin Roof, the club part owned by singer Carly Simon which attracted international acts for more than 20 years.

The Nectar’s group is aware of the pitfalls of running a club on the Vineyard, Mr. Walsh said.

A consistent gripe of promoters, for example, is that attracting talent to the Island is a tricky and costly proposition.

“We heard from everybody, from the Rosenthals, from the previous owners, from Ben Taylor himself — the hardest thing is getting people to the Island,” he acknowledged.

But as college-town promoters he said they rely on the devotion of the Myspace generation who are prepared to travel to hear music.

“Long story short, we have been bringing in obscure unknown bands and getting sell-out crowds. We have great street teams and we do a lot of non-traditional advertising to get the word out. We’re in our late 30s and early 40s but our marketing and talent buying guys are all in their mid 20s and that’s on purpose,” he said.

If the cautionary tale of the Outerland, which closed in debt after just three years of operation, was to keep expenses low, it’s something they are also used to, argued Mr. Walsh.

“Barry Rosenthal has been very helpful to us . . . they let expenses get out of control; we are very lean and mean; we have our middle management guys wearing a lot of hats,” he said.“The college kids in our town don’t have a lot of money, so we let the bar make the profit and don’t try to hit a home run with ticket sales.

“I’ve been in this business six years and it’s tricky. There’s not much of a learning curve ’cause you can lose $100,000 in 30 days.

“We make educated guesses with our acts and we have a good finger on the pulse of what’s going on in music right now. And there are a lot of similarities between the Vineyard and Burlington communities. We’re pretty confident.”
