CL recommended free things to do tonight (Thurs., Jan. 15th).

If you’re looking to go out but don’t want to spend all your money at the door, Jeffrey Butzer et. al. at the Star Bar, Fringe Factory DJs at 529 and the Kirkwood Ballers Club at the Highland Inn are all CL approved activities that won’t cost you a dime.

Big Trouble in Little 5 Points returns to the Star Bar for another free show. Tonight the bill is filled out by Jeffrey Butzer, Mike Lesage, the Stumbling Troubadours and the Matt Kurz 1. Show starts at 9 p.m.

If that’s not your bag, over at 529 the Fringe Factory DJS Suzy Q and Vikki V spin a grip of ’60s soul, R&B, psych, garage and rock and roll sounds at 529 (formerly the Villaeg across the street ). 529 Flat Shoals Rd.

And last but not least, the Kirkwood Ballers Club brings it’s regular crop of experimental musicians to The Highland Inn Ballroom Lounge, running through shades of everything from sing/songwriter fare, jazz, noise and electronic music.
