NIGHT LIFE
When the sun goes down, SUUSI wakes UP!
Whether it is music, dancing, food, or conversations over coffee, SUUSI nightlife has something for everyone!
MUSIC
Cabaret: Cabaret is our nightly live music venue. It’s an intergenerational, multi-faceted, mixed bag of evening entertainment. All of the Cabaret performers, amateur and professional alike, are from our own SUUSI community. It’s about musicians, poets, actors, dancers and instrumentalists. In short, it’s all about YOU! To sign-up to perform at Cabaret, be sure to stop by the Nightlife table at check-in on Sunday or during Cabaret throughout the week!
Sunday night is the start of Cabaret with our Open Mic night directly after Ingathering. You can share a song, dance a dance, recite a poem, tell a short story or a joke. You will need to sign up in advance for this, but it is easy to do at the Nightlife table at Check-In on Sunday. Poets, actors, singers, dancers, young, old, small, tall—all are welcome.
Monday through Thursday – 9:00-11:30pm
Do you want to perform at Cabaret during the rest of the week? Many of those who perform on Sunday night at the open mic will be asked back to do sets during Cabaret on Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday evening. Each night’s schedule will be listed in the daily NUUS and posted outside the auditorium.
Friday: Jamboree – 9:15-11:15pm
Another fine SUUSI tradition, Jamboree is a special performance time where two or more folks who have never performed together before do so for the first time on the Cabaret stage. It’s also the time when workshops and classes get to perform. It’s amazing what can get pulled together in less than a week!
Where’s everyone going? It’s only midnight! Beginning at 12am and continuing until the wee, wee hours, Late Night is definitely worth staying up late for! If you can’t get enough music, either as a performer or audience member, check out our alternate performing space. You’ll be able to play with, sing with, or listen to other musicians on campus. All you need to do is show up!

- Concert Hour-Greg GreenwayUnlimited
Greg Greenway first attended SUUSI as a Concert Hour performer in 2003, and we have been so fortunate that he has been back many times since. Greg has created a multi-instrumental, genre-crossing style that continues to creatively evolve, with one of the strongest and finest voices in folk music. From his beginnings in Richmond, VA, moving on to Boston’s folk music tradition, and touring internationally, Greg has played at such notable places as Carnegie Hall, and been heard on NPR's All Things Considered and Mountain Stage. His eight year collaboration with Pat Wictor and Joe Jencks as Brother Sun reached many thousands of fans, and Greg's songs have been sung by choirs internationally. A recent project with Reggie Harris is a musical presentation on Race in America called Deeper Than The Skin, connecting audiences to their humanity while entertaining them at the same time. Greg’s latest album is “Between Hello and Goodbye." To learn more about Greg, go to: www.greggreenway.com
- Concert Hour-Sam RobbinsUnlimited
Sam Robbins is often described as an "old soul singer songwriter." A Nashville based musician whose music evokes classic 70's singer songwriters like James Taylor and Neil Young, Sam adds a modern, upbeat edge to the storyteller troubadour persona. An avid performer, he has gained recognition from extensive touring and as one of the six 2021 winners in the Kerrville Folk Festival New Folk competition. Since his graduation from the Berklee College of Music, Sam moved to Nashville and is a full time troubadour, playing over 150 shows a year across the country. Wherever he is performing, Sam builds an intimate, easy connection with the listener, naturally creating a feeling of closeness throughout the performance. In his performances and workshops, Sam explores the magic behind the craft of songwriting, and tries to help others express themselves through that unique and powerful medium. Sam's second album, "Bigger Than in Between", was released in August 2022 to critical acclaim. To learn more about Sam, go to www.samrobbinsmusic.com
