So, news is getting around about ROOM 5 and AMALFI. The truth is that it has, indeed, been sold to new ownership. At this time, we dont know if they are going to be interested in keeping the upstairs operating as a music venue. We know that they are preparing for a renovation as soon as October and ROOM 5, as we know it will be coming to a close at the end of Sept. Whether or not it will be coming back as a venue remains to be seen. Whether or not Shannon and I are involved also remains to be seen. Well keep you posted as it develops. This is sad news for all of us, I know, but I am choosing to look at it as the end of an era, beginning of a new one. There are some exciting things in the works, so stay tuned... While we still have it, however, I invite everyone to show their support of ROOM 5 and help us go out with a bang! Im working on booking some exciting shows for Sept to celebrate ROOM 5, its history and our great music community. Keep an eye on the calendar: room5lounge Shannon and I appreciate all of your support over the years. Were very proud of what weve built there and the foundation that was established by Jay Nash and the musicians who have played there. Thank you! If you missed the Sonicbids Interview I did a couple weeks ago, check it out. I talk all about ROOM 5 and the music community in LA. Good stuff. blog.sonicbids/promoter-spotlight-joel-eckels?utm_campaign=daily-gig-guide&utm_content=13667977&_hsenc=p2ANqtz--wQiVN0ETtJFD_8kflOGQFkPTNnMb2LMHT8ALQjBCQ3jwl8Q3DLo_bOGbloIBGJMoROpZAL6mR3arCvFjava72-_hAoA&_hsmi=13667977
