The Week In Shows: 10/30/17-11/5/17

A chilly Thursday evening in late 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 nice and cool out there, and y'all know that makes me a happy girl. I'm also going out of town this weekend, which also makes me happy, and which explains why you're getting my picks for next week tonight. Looks like yet another busy week ahead, so choose wisely. 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.

Oh, and Happy Halloween, you sexy spooks! 

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!
