The Week In Shows: 1/8/18-1/14/18

An entirely too cold Saturday morning in the midst of a "bomb cyclone" 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!

The longer it is this cold, the more I want to move. PSA for the day: if you're heading outside for whatever reason, please make sure you're bundled up, y'all. 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!
