The Week In Shows: 4/22/19-4/28/19

A deep, dark Saturday evening 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 hope y'all are enjoying this here 20th of April in your preferred method of celebration. It was a gorgeous day, whether you were indulging in greenery or not. 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.
