The Week In Shows: 11/13/17-11/19/17

A rather chilly Saturday morning in November 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 cold out, friends. I know I always complain about the heat, and I'm probably going to complain about the cold at some point over the course of the next few months. But still, there's too many good gigs out there to stay home! 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. Bonus: catch yours truly at any show with an asterisk next to it.

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!
