The Week In Shows: 2/5/18-2/11/18

An entirely too cold 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!

It's February and it's freezing. I've had just about enough of winter, so hopefully those various groundhogs that saw their shadows yesterday will be wrong about this whole six more weeks of winter thing. 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!
