The Week In Shows: 8/28/17-9/3/17

The last Sunday in August 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 don't know about you, friends, but I can't believe September is just around the corner. Don't get me wrong, I'm really excited for September, I just can't believe it's almost here. 2017 is really putting its pedal on the gas as far as burning through the days goes. But at least there is the constant of bands coming to town and playing for us. And now, without further ado, here's a look at some of the shows I happen to recommend for the coming week in the greater DC metro area. And you just might see me out at any show with an asterisk. 

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!
