Three to see: A concert that lasts 12 hours; Chalk It Up!; and a reggae fest

Ross Hammond’s 12-Hour Concert

Jazz/folk/pop

9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Friday, Sept. 1

Luna’s Cafe

Venerable (and perhaps insane?) Sacramento musician Ross Hammond has “a couple tricks I’m going to do to sustain some notes” for those moments when he needs a quick break during his 12-hour marathon of a concert at Luna’s, which he is undertaking as a fundraiser for Sacramento Food Bank & Family Services. It’s free to pop in, and donations for the bank are being accepted on-site. www.facebook.com/events/111582912816868
