The Week In Shows: 9/4/17-9/10/17

The first Saturday of September 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!

September is here, and yours truly is pretty excited about it. Not only is the best season of the year coming in a few weeks, but your hostess has a big trip coming up as well. In the meantime, there are good shows to go to. 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!
