The Week In Shows: 4/8/19-4/14/19

A gloriously sunny 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!

The first week of April has come and gone, and I can hardly believe it. Anyone else think this year is moving too fast? It's like one of those cartoons where the dates fly off the calendar in super hyper speed. 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!
