Join us for two free, family-friendly outdoor celebrations that bring the community together for an afternoon and evening of live music, local food, artisan vendors, and summer fun on campus.
Sweet Megg
6:30 p.m. – 8:00 p.m.
Sweet Megg began her career performing in dingy bars, coffee shops, and DIY loft venues of the East Village and Brooklyn. At 22, she moved to Paris to study jazz vocals, gigging across the city before returning to New York to spend a decade as a full-time jazz vocalist, steeped in the traditions of early jazz and blues.
Megg toured globally with Postmodern Jukebox from 2021 to 2023, including a viral 1920s-style collaboration, and later led a Cirque du Soleil country music project.
Megg released Never Been Home in 2025, blending classic influences with a modern edge, capturing both nostalgia and innovation. She is now set to release Massive Negroni in 2026 and will tour throughout America, the UK, and France.

Abby Webster & Her Imaginary Band
3:30 p.m. – 4:30 p.m.
Based in Bozeman, MT, Abby Webster and her Imaginary Band fuse the region’s cherished bluegrass and folk traditions with indie rock and honky-tonk influences. Their diverse sonic palette, combined with their exceptional musicianship, creates enchanting performances that showcase a truly authentic sound.
On a whim, Webster released her boot-stomping anthem “Tall Boy,” never expecting it to go beyond her circle of friends. But the song, written and recorded in her San Francisco bedroom as a lighthearted joke, unexpectedly caught fire, amassing millions of streams and stunning the artist who had never intended it to see the light of day.
