What to Expect Around Town This Weekend (Jan. 1-3)

It’s almost 2016. How’d your year turn out? Did you lose 30 pounds? Did you stop smoking and start exercising more? No? Good. We didn’t, either.

• Baltimore weirdwave composer Dan Deacon visits U Street Music Hall on Saturday.
• Three Man Soul Machine performs at Bossa Bistro in Adams Morgan on Sunday.

Stuff you should know:
