Next Tuesday will be the last night for Sugarhill - Atlanta’s premier destination for live soul and progressive urban music.-
It’s a stunning announcement - but maybe not too surprising considering the obstacles the venue has faced since its inception.-
Much of the onus for the club’s closing lies with “Underground Atlanta mismanagement,” according to co-owner Richard Dunn, who partnered with Jason Carter (Sol Fusion promoter), Freddy Luster (former co-owner of Yin Yang Café), and Rival Entertainment/Center Stage co-owners Josh Antenucci and Tom Cook to open the venue in September 2006.
