The Week in Shows: 10/10-10/16

An early Friday morning 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 October, but it's still stormy out there, as illustrated by Hurricane Matthew. Perhaps it's a sobering reminder to gather ye rosebuds while ye may, and to get out there and see the bands you love when you can see them. Happily, there are lots of bands coming to town you'll want to see. 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!
