March was full of madness and the DC Scene-In-Review Podcast is here to catch you up on some of the best concerts from around the DMVl. We had our first actual snow day of the year... on the first day of spring for some reason. It didn't cancel every show, so we've got a little bit of music from that snowy night. The Cherry Blossom Festival also got started in March. We've got some music from a brand new band, 1 Identity, music from a brand new taper, Nora Lyle, and an interview with Jesse Royal by a new DC Music Review contributor, Karin McLaughlin of Karin's Calendar. And as always, Rudi Greenberg of the Washington Post Express breaks down the highlights of March and the shows coming up that you won't want to miss.
