The Week in Shows: 12/14-12/20

A rather unseasonable Sunday afternoon seems as good a time as any to plot ones weekly live music schedule, I think. Let's take a look at what's happening in the greater DC metro this week, shall we? Hot diggity!

Mother Nature seems to be a smidge confused about what month we're in, but her confusion is working out just fine. It's positively Spring-like here in the greater DC metro, which is certainly better than being cold city. The shows are getting a smidge thin, as sometimes happen in the colder months, but there's still plenty to see around town. As a reminder, you might catch me at any show with an asterisk. And I'll be making one pick for an extra special super recommended show that you really, definitely, seriously ought to consider going to. So here we go, a look at some recommended shows for the coming week.
