The Week In Shows: 12/12-12/18

A freezing cold and rather bleak Sunday afternoon in December 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!

A mere 20 days stand between us and a New Year. I'm pretty happy about seeing the back of this year, I don't know about you. But while it's still this year, there's still some shows you'll want to see if you're in the DC metro. Mind you, it's a little slow this week, but it's also going to be really cold. Bundle up if you're heading out. Without further ado, I present a look at some of the shows I happen to recommend for the coming week. Here's a look at some suggested shows if you're in the DC metro. 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!
