Sessions

  • AoN 821 Upshur St. NW, Rear, #2 Washington, DC (map)

What is Sessions? It’s an open mic jam session for poets, instrumentalists, vocalists, MCs, and anyone willing to share their art. It’s a space where artists are free to create and not required to be as formal as they are in other venues. Sessions is a space where artists are encouraged to expand the boundaries of their own expression, and perform with artists they normally wouldn’t, and play, sing, rap, or dance as if no one is watching. Participants will either perform alongside a DJ or a live band.
