Sober Sessions launched as a national movement creating substance-free concert environments where music, community, and recovery intersect. The organization, built as a platform to connect individuals to treatment resources, sober living, and second chances, is rapidly expanding with events in Nashville and planned performances across cities including Austin, Charleston, Philadelphia, and Washington, DC.
Event and Impact Model
The next installment of Sober Sessions took place on March 27, 2026, at Marathon Music Works in Nashville, featuring performances from Ron Pope, Ian Flannigan, and King Lazy Eye. The events are designed as high-energy, substance-free environments bringing together fans, artists, and recovery communities in a way that removes stigma while amplifying connection, storytelling, and purpose. According to Riley Osborne, President of Sober Sessions, the organization is “building something bigger than a concert—it’s about creating a culture where recovery is visible, supported, and celebrated.”
Community Support and Financial Impact
Proceeds and partnerships from Sober Sessions directly support multiple initiatives: access to treatment by helping individuals take the first step into substance use and mental health treatment programs; sober living support by assisting with placement and funding for safe, structured sober living environments; scholarships and financial assistance to reduce barriers for those who cannot afford care; recovery resources and community integration by connecting individuals with ongoing support systems after treatment; and second chances by creating pathways for people to rebuild their lives.
Partnership and Sponsorship
Sober Sessions Nashville is presented by Recovery Unplugged and Kipu Health, whose support helps expand access to recovery resources and second chances nationwide. Tickets for events are available with proceeds helping support initiatives that connect individuals to recovery resources and treatment opportunities. Sponsorship opportunities are available for brands and organizations looking to align with the platform at the intersection of music and social impact.
