Luther’s sings blues on financial front

Employees walked out, creditors say they went unpaid, and the phone lines were disconnected for a time.

It wasn’t long ago that Luther’s was the darling of the local club scene. It opened in late 2000, just a few months before the fire that destroyed O’Cayz Corral, and rose to prominence as one of a handful of live downtown music venues.
