Prior to 9.5 you can't, I think you have to use something like jsonb_each to unwrap it then wrap it back up again.

The jsonbx extension, which I believe is what ended up in 9.5 has a simple concatenate function (here:
https://github.com/erthalion/jsonbx),I also had a go (here: https://github.com/glynastill/pg_jsonb_opx).
