The Week In Shows: 5/20/19-5/26/19

A mildly muggy 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!

It's starting to feel like summer, and while I know some of you are excited about it, seeing the mugginess and the mosquitoes start to turn up has me less than thrilled. And it's unreal to think that Memorial Day weekend is next weekend. If you're getting out of town, make sure you're on the road before everyone else! 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!
