The Week In Shows: 11/7-11/13

The first Sunday night of November 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!

In addition to Election Day (heaven help us all), November means an onslaught of serious holiday pressures. Y'all know what I mean. I think we should all pay less attention to buying and more attention to seeing good music. Fortunately, that's in abundance around these parts. So here we go, a look at some of the shows I happen to recommend 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!
