The Week in Shows: 9/19-9/25

The last Saturday in summer 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 know the weather doesn't totally make it believable, but summer is almost out the door. My favorite season is right around the corner, as are cooler nights and the best holiday ever. This is a bit of a tame week, after the bumper crop of great shows last week, but there's still plenty to see. So here we go, a look at some recommended shows for the coming week.

And as an aside, if you've got a show coming up you'd like me to consider including in my weekly calendar, just shoot me an email with "Calendar" somewhere in the subject line. Thanks y'all!
