UPH Saratoga Springs Announces New Events 

SARATOGA SPRINGS — A new comedy series, a GRAMMY©-award-winning musician, a local anchor-turned-singer and teenage nostalgic dreams coming true are all events newly announced for Universal Preservation Hall.

Ranky Tanky is a GRAMMY©-award-winning quintet that performs music born from the Gullah culture of the Southeastern Sea Islands, at 7:30 p.m. Friday, June 23. This style of music has been described by NPR as “soulful honey to the ears.” 

Local former television news anchor Jerry Gretzinger will be taking on the classics of Frank Sinatra in “The Man, the Myth and the Music” 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 12. Joined on a few numbers by his singer-wife, Erin, the performance will paint an intimate musical portrait of a performer who was bigger than life.
