The Week In Shows: 4/2/18-4/8/18

A chilly Saturday morning seem 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 coming week, shall we? Hot diggity!

Well, April is a few hours away, and hopefully that'll mean some actual nice weather for a change. As in, perfect gig-going weather. There's a lot of musical goodness happening in DC this month, so be sure to get out and enjoy some of it. 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!
