The Week in Shows: 1/11-1/17

A Sunday afternoon that feels more like spring than like winter 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!

In theory it's January, but today it sure doesn't feel like it. Our weather has been, shall we say, confused over the past few weeks. But I guess it's better than being below zero. It's yet another sort of light week around town, but there's still some pretty good stuff coming through. As a reminder, you might catch me at any show with an asterisk. And I'll be picking one extra awesome show that you should not miss (unless you don't live in the DC area, of course). So here we go, a look at some recommended shows for the coming week.
