I'll be in DC Tue and Wed nights this week. Any recommendations to hear good acoustic music?

Thanks

Béla Fleck and the original Flecktones at the Music Center at Strathmore, just outside DC in Rockville, Wednesday night http://www.strathmore.org/eventstickets/calendar/view.asp?id=4332 (if it's not already sold out...)

If you're into bluegrass, Bob Perilla and Big Hillbilly Bluegrass play every Wednesday night at Madam's Organ in the Adams Morgan district of northwest DC. http://www.bighillbillybluegrass.com/events.php

I second the Bob Perilla tip. Madam's Organ is a cool place and those guys have been playing bluegrass every wednesday there for over a decade. Mike Mumford, their banjo guy, is particularly awesome. However, you should be prepared - the neighborhood it's in is the DC equivalent of Bourbon Street. Parking is non-existant and it's a flat out bar district, so if you're looking for something quiet and low-key then you may want to keep that in mind.
