The Week In Shows: 7/24/17-7/30/17

A sultry Sunday afternoon in late July 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!

I'm going out of town next weekend (yes, again) so the week is sure to move at the pace of a geriatric snail. Which is about the pace I want to move when it's this hot and humid out. But at least there's some good shows to look forward to. And now, without further ado, here's a look at some of those very shows I happen to recommend for the coming week in the greater DC metro area.

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!
