The Week In Shows: 8/5/19-8/11/19

A sultry 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!

We are in the middle of the Dog Days, and for reasons other than some warm August temperatures. Please, please be good to each other and look out for one another. There's a lot of horrible stuff happening in our land. Take solace in and strength from each other. 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!
