The Week In Shows: 4/23/18-4/29/18

An actual almost-springlike early Friday evening 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 coming week, shall we? Hot diggity!

It has been a week, y'all. I'm glad to see the back of this one, that's for sure. Now it's time to forget that it won't happen all over again in just a couple days. Time to take a look at what the last full week of April has on the cards as far as gigs are concerned. 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!
