The Week In Shows: 12/19-12/25

Another freezing cold and rather bleak Saturday 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!

New Year's Eve is but two weeks from today, my friends. As you sit around working on your resolutions and indulging in various holiday parties, don't forget to plan your live music outings. Without further ado, I present a look at some of the shows I happen to recommend for the coming week. It's a little thin on the ground, as we approach Christmas, but there's still some shows to check out. 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!
