UPH Announces Fall Shows

 SARATOGA SPRINGS — The Universal Preservation Hall recently announced new programming for its 2025-2026 season lineup. Tickets for the shows are currently on sale.

HYPROV (Thursday, Sept. 25) combines hypnosis and improv. The evening begins with Asad Mecci welcoming 20 volunteers on stage to be hypnotized. The most receptive to hypnosis then join Colin Mochrie to improvise the rest of the show, while hypnotized.

The trio of Béla Fleck, harpist Edmar Castañeda, and drummer Antonio Sánchez (Thursday, Oct. 2) features instrumentation that might safely be called uncommon. Unless, of course, you’re already familiar with 19-time Grammy-winner Fleck — a genre-blurring virtuoso.

Josh Blue’s (Saturday, Oct. 4) stand-up routine is in a constant state of evolution, and his off-the-cuff improvisational skills guarantee that no two shows are alike. Next, Blue is bringing the “Freak Accident Tour” to Saratoga Springs.

Pink Martini (Saturday, Oct. 18) is celebrating their 30th Anniversary with a North American tour and the release of new music this summer and fall. Their performances feature a rich variety of musical styles.

Alex Torres & His Latin Orchestra (Saturday, Nov. 1) mark 45 years of music-making. Formed in 1980 and led by Bronx-born bassist Alex Torres, this 12-piece ensemble blends Afro-Caribbean styles like Salsa, Merengue, Cha-cha, Bomba, Plena, and Latin Jazz into a high-energy experience.

The Seven Wonders: A Tribute to Fleetwood Mac (Friday, Nov. 7) are seven musicians paying homage to the music of Fleetwood Mac and Stevie Nicks. They recreate all the great hits of Fleetwood Mac, including “Dreams,” “Go Your Own Way,” “Rhiannon,” “Edge of Seventeen,” “Landslide,” “Gypsy,” and more.
