The Week In Shows: 9/26-10/2

The first Saturday of the best season 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!

Hallelujah and then some, it's fall! My most favorite of seasons is full of goodness, from sweaters to Halloween to non-sweltering temperatures. It's also a pretty good season when it comes to bands being out there on the road. Much to be excited about in the fall, y'all. So here we go, a look at some recommended shows for the coming week. And if you happen to see an asterisk by a show, I'll be there. You should too. 

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!
