The Week In Shows: 5/23-5/29

A very gloomy, wet, and chilly Preakness 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!

It's been a really rough week on a personal level, and I'm still incredibly bummed out. The show, or shows, go on, however. And 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 (though not this week, as I'm still in mourning). 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.
