The Week In Shows: 5/16-5/22

A very sunny, very blue, and very beautiful Saturday 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!

I can't tell y'all how happy I am to see the sun again, and I'm sure you feel the same way. It's been a long, gray, lonely time...but out came the sun, and here come the shows, and there's plenty of those over the course of the next few days. There's a lot to see through the greater DC metro this week. As a reminder, you might catch me at any show with an asterisk. Make sure you get out there this week and support your bands of choice. So here we go, a look at some recommended shows for the coming week.
