The Week In Shows: 5/19-5/25

An nearly perfect Saturday morning is as good a time as any to plot ones weekly live music schedule, I think. For the weekend, anyway! Let's take a look at what's happening in the greater DC metro this week, with the added bonus of filling you in on what I may or may not be taking in over the course of this abbreviated week. Hot diggity!

As they say in one of my favorite movies of all time ever, it's all happening. The good shows are here, and there's plenty on the ole horizon. This week is exceptionally tasty, so get out there and take in some great music. And you never know, I just might see you out and about during the week. As always, anything that's starred has a high forecast of yours truly being there.
