The Week In Shows: 2/19/18-2/25/18

A beautiful, chilly Saturday 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!

We've had about two and a half seasons in town this week, and supposedly winter is back for a few days. Be sure you've got some good music to help you deal with this weather schizophrenia. We might be back to fake summer in a few days, so why not take advantage and get out there to see some live music? 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!
