The volunteer-run concerts of The Sessions at McPike Park return for three evenings and one full day of music in the heart of the east side. "The Last ObSession" on Aug. 17 offers a second night of music by West African multi-instrumentalist Sona Jobarteh, plus New Orleans genre mixing dance music experts Bon Bon Vivant, klezmer by Yid Vicious, and guitarist Richard Wiegel (of The Midwesterners, Clicker and many other bands of the past several decades). The concerts (along with July’s Pursuit of Happiness Session) raise funds for six local nonprofits. Find the full schedule at sessionsatmcpike.org.
