Korby speaks with Todd Sherwood, owner and talent booker of The 5 Spot, about the glory and heartache of running a Nashville institution for nearly twenty years. Since taking over in 2007 in his mid twenties, Sherwood has hosted more than 50,000 shows.

In this insightful and often hilarious conversation, he talks about the history of the 5 Spot, some highlight moments (with photos), the picturesque reality of running a club outside the net of corporate control, what bands need to understand when they book shows, and how to rig an indoor rain gutter system out of garbage bags.
