Sat, Dec 8th, Tha Dirt Feelin

Davis hip-hop-and-soul hybrid group Tha Dirt Feelin performs a show Saturday, benefiting three Ugandan children who lost their parents. The Davis six-piece blends hip-hop with funk and reggae influences—kind of like Michael Franti & Spearhead or Red Hot Chili Peppers, but with more references to NorCal, and a bit more soul. Tha Dirt Feelin is joined on this night by Bay Area reggae group Ital Souls, who will perform two sets—one each with local reggae artists T-Rosemond and Sky-I. Enjoy a unique blend of world-music beats, jams and raps—and raise money for three Ugandan kids' education. The $10 price is a suggested donation. 716 N Street in Davis, www.thadf.com.
