[UPDATED] Week 1, March 2018 Music Events

Below are events from my Top 25 list for March 5-11, the first full Monday-Sunday week of March. It's a light week at the moment, but I'll keep checking. I've just posted event lists for the two weeks before this one, February week 3 is here, and here is the week that leaves February and enters March is here. I'm in blue as presenter at the museum. Yellow is what I'd do if I had to pick just one other, and I've picked regional country/etc. band Alabama Avenue because they're really good at promoting themselves online, and I'd like to hear them live for once. All you highbrows can go hear Schwartz in Columbus with pianist Mari Ito, because it will be lit. -PMc
