THE WEEK IN SHOWS: 12/25/17-12/31/17

A not very wintry Saturday morning in late December 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!

We're in the final days of what has been a trying year. On the one hand, it's been a terrifying 12 months, full of the worst of humanity (see: the American political arena). On the other hand, 2017 has been full of seriously great music. I'd just like to have the great music without having to worry about the future of mankind. Anyway, I've got high hopes for 2018, and am excited to see what the next 12 months have in store. 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. It's a pretty good week as we wind down the clock on 2017. 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!
