Programs in SAM’s entry gathering spaces are always free and open to everyone. Bring your curiosity and imagination, we’ll provide the rest.
SAM Performs: Bupp!
What's Bupp!? We are a new music ensemble led by bassist Jesse Kuras. The list of genres we incorporate has grown to absurdity—classical, jazz, latin, funk, folk, spoken word, avant-garde, bluegrass, psychedelic, children's music, and more! From a spacious trio to a formidable 9-piece group, the flexibility of Bupp! means that every performance is unique, and we aim to create tailored performances that tie together the space with all the people in it. Bupp! is what's upp!
