The Week in Shows: 9/5-9/11

A slightly windy 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 don't know about you, but I love a good three-day weekend. I plan on enjoying the heck out of this Labor Day weekend, because there will be a lot of labor to be done at work once it's over. Oh, and we dodged a tropical system bullet, so that's a plus. Plenty of good music to take in around these parts, get out there and soak it all in. So here we go, a look at some recommended shows for the coming week. See a show with an asterisk? I'll be there, so let's hang.

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!
