The Week In Shows: 4/1/19-4/7/19

A pre-dawn Sunday 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!

I'm at the beach (again), perfecting my beach bum skills...when I get that winning lottery ticket I'll be so ready. In the meantime, holy hell it's just about April. This year is passing in hyperspeed. 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!
