"There's a new owner, but the operation will be the same," Mike Schuba, 58, said. He and Chris Schuba, 63, bought Schubas in 1988 and Lincoln Hall in 2009 and turned them into two of the most beloved music venues in the city, in large measure because of the astute bookings by a string of talent buyers. The most recent, Matt Rucins, was hired in 2000, and he'll continue in that role.
