The Week In Shows: 10/23/17-10/29/17

A gorgeous Saturday morning in October 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!

It's a gorgeous day, isn't it? How nice to have actual autumn outside. This great weather seems to always bring with it great shows, and this week is another bountiful week. Not only that, but it's Halloweekend! Have a devilishly good time, boys and ghouls. Keep an eye out for yours truly at any show with an asterisk. 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 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!
