The Week In Shows: 7/22/19-7/28/19

A stultifying, humid AF Sunday 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!

After this weekend's heat indexes from Hades, I'm looking forward to fall 2019 even more than I already was. Go see some shows this week, friends, but be sure you hydrate (and not just with beer). This summer is not messing around. And now, 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!
