Five Spot to close after three final shows
On Tuesday, March 5, Bryan Aust, owner of the Little Five Points music venue the Five Spot, will close its doors after nearly 12 years of bringing intimate local shows to the neighborhood. Maybe you were at the Five Spot in May 2011 when Del tha Funkee Homosapien played a free show. Or perhaps you were hooked on Barry Wright’s stand-up comedy on Tuesday nights. Whatever your attachment to the L5P dive, prepare your goodbyes.
