The Week In Shows: 2/13/17-2/19/17

Yet another overcast, blah kind of Sunday 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!

Life is giving us plenty of lemons these days, my friends. We must all do what we need to do in terms of keeping our sanity. May I suggest venturing out to see some live music? Perhaps some of these very shows? Seeing as it's Valentine's Day this week, why not take your sweetheart to see a show? And now, without further ado, here's a look at some of the shows I happen to recommend for the coming week in the DC metro.

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!
