The Week In Shows: 7/29/19-8/4/19

The last Monday morning in July 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!

Seven months down, five to go. The nights are starting to get a little shorter, the back-to-school ads have started, and any day now the grocery stores will start stocking Halloween candy. Yes, friends, August is well and truly upon us. What sorts of good music nights will the dog days bring us? 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!
