(Washington DC) This spot is generally taken up by interviews of some of the best blues artists on the planet, but I have had so many requests for venue/show information that I decided to fill this spot with some of the best shows in the D.C. area. This isn't an absolutely complete show schedule, but it will give everybody a good idea of what this area has to offer. I try to cover the local musicians as well as the touring musicians. Please keep in mind that, while I know that there are bigger name shows coming to the DC area, this site isn't just about BIG names. If you only go to shows for the big names, then you are missing out on sooooooo much good music out there! Check out just a few of the MANY shows in our area.
