Week Of: June 18-24, 2018
Summary: Sounds of Summer Solstice
It's officially here, SUMMER. With all the music you expect of the season. Sweat it out each night of this transitional week with these offerings.
My "Must See" Shows:
For residents of Washington, DC, and Baltimore there are shows in each city that feature hometown heroes that are beloved and so dearly cherished by all residents of the region, John Kadlecik and Cris Jacobs of The Bridge. If you haven't bought tickets for these shows, they are selling out quick!
