Eight Gigs: The Cuf
Sun., Jan. 8, 7 p.m., The Press Club, $10
In 1997, DJ Larry Rodriguez started his Sunday night dance party as a way to end the weekend on a high note before the dreaded work week begins yet again. Now, the beloved DJ celebrates 20 years of Sunday night dance rituals that revolve around funk, soul, hip-hop and R&B. As Sacramento’s proprietor of lively dance floors, DJ Larry turns to live performances by the Sacto Storytellers, the Scratch Outs, the Cuf (pictured), City of Trees Brass Band, Swank, Roman Austin and more to celebrate all the nights he’s inspired crowds of people to come together and dance the night away. 2030 P Street, www.facebook.com/cufish.
