The Week In Shows: 7/23/18-7/29/18

A dreary, drizzly Saturday morning seems as good a time as any to plot ones weekly show schedule, I think. Let's take a look at what's happening in the greater DC metro this coming week, shall we? Hot diggity!

Supposedly it's going to be a soggy week, but that never keeps us music lovers away from the shows. And July is bringing some great shows to DC. What's happening over the last full week of July? Plenty of goodness. 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!
