The Week In Shows: 2/4/19-2/10/19

A sunny Super Bowl 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!

Oh hello, February. And hello Super Bowl Sunday. Thanks to the egregiousness of NFL officiating, I'm only interested in the game as a means to see someone beat the team from the greater Boston area. But I won't be watching (I think I'll be washing my hair). In any event, the week ahead is a great week to go and see some live music. 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!
