Eight Gigs: The Funky 16s

Fri., Dec. 23, 9 p.m., Harlow’s Restaurant & Nightclub, $10

Did you know Sacramento has its very own once-a-year-around-the-holidays supergroup? The Funky 16s is comprised of members of Cuesta Drive, 2me and the City of Trees Brass Band. The lineup differs year to year, but you can count on a night of can’t-keep-off-the-dance-floor funk, rock and soul, brought to you by some homegrown talent no matter who’s in the lineup this year. An excellent excuse to get out, knock a few back and boogie before you enter family lockdown mode for the subsequent 48 hours. 2708 J Street, www.harlows.com/event/1386157-funky-16s-sacramento.
