The Week In Shows: 8/27/18-9/2/18

An end-of-summer Sunday afternoon 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!

The cicadas are still driving me nuts, my friends. I hear them in my dreams. But we're saying hello to September this week, so I know the end is nigh. Good shows are popping up all over this fine metropolitan area, and I encourage one and all to get out and see as much music as possible. This week is a little light, seeing as it's right before Labor Day weekend, but there's still some gems. 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!
