The Week In Shows: 2/12/18-2/18/18

The start of the wee small hours of an entirely too nippy Friday morning 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!

Shutdown redux. It's an interesting time to be in this here city. If Shutdown the Sequel has messed with you, you have my sympathy. Hopefully you've got some good music to help you deal. Oh, and Happy Valentine's Day. 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!
