Cody Fry with Caroga Arts Ensemble at Sherman's Park
Cody Fry?s music sounds like the moment in your favorite old flick when the film changes from black-and-white to technicolor in a rush of emotion. As his orchestration booms, you practically expect a Golden Age romance to unfold to the narration of his vocals. It?s warm enough to make you nostalgic, but Cody always looks forward as a singer, songwriter, composer, producer, arranger, and multi-instrumentalist. It?s why he?s quietly emerged as a phenomenon with hundreds of millions of streams, hundreds of thousands of TikTok creations, and widespread acclaim. Along the way he?s picked up two GRAMMY® Award nominations, an RIAA Certified Gold record, and sold out countless shows. You can keep up with Cody?s musical journey at codyfry.com or on social media.

All That Glitters: A New Musical by the Youth of Fulton County at Myers Park
The 5th Annual Trust Your Gut Summer Academy proudly presents All That Glitters, a new, original musical written, composed, designed, and performed by the Youth of Fulton County! King Midas has it all. He rules the kingdom of Phrygia with his wife, Queen Marygold, and their loving daughter, Princess Cassandra. But, when the Queen suddenly passes away, Midas is driven to greed, jealously keeping his gold for himself. When Dionysus, the god of wine, revelry, and (of course) theatre, offers to grant him a wish on the eve of his daughter's 18th birthday, Midas is given the ''golden touch''...but will he use it wisely? Or will this gift become a curse? Throughout the TYGP Summer Academy, our Rising Stars have been trained in acting, singing, dance, voice and speech, vocal technique and performance, design, writing, music composition, and more. Our dedicated team of professional, working performing artists has guided them through the process of discovering their inner artist, working together, having fun, and, most importantly of all, trusting their gut! We are beyond pleased to present All That Glitters as the next in a growing line of unique and original musicals created, produced, and performed by the incredibly talented Youth of Fulton County!

The Glove Theatre Presents: Feast of Friends- The Doors Tribute Band
FEAST OF FRIENDS - Performing the Music of The Doors! Since 2013, Feast of Friends has stood out as one of the only continuously active Door's tribute bands in the Northeast. Unlike typical parody tribute acts, this tribute avoids costumes, wigs, and impersonations, instead honoring the unmistakable sound of The Doors with precision and passion. Blending the studio sound with the band's epic live improvisation, FOF captures the Doors' musical essence in every powerful and electrifying performance. Their memorable live shows feature all the classic hits, and many deep tracks rarely played or never performed live by The Doors. Feast of Friends has performed full live albums including the 1969 self-titled debut, Strange Days, and L.A. Woman. Frontman Joe McCausland has performed alongside original Doors guitarist Robbie Kreiger. In 2024, Feast of Friends celebrated Jim Morrison's 80th birthday at the historic Orpheum Theater, where they hosted a live video discussion with Doors drummer, John Densmore and the music industry's first rock music critic, Richard Goldstein (Village Voice) as they revisited the renowned 1969 PBS Soundstage interview and performance with The Doors. Experience the unparalleled live energy of Feast of Friends for the ultimate tribute to Jim Morrison and The Doors. The time to hesitate is through - don't miss this amazing experience.

The Glove Theatre Presents: Dead Man's Waltz
The Glove Theatre welcomes Dead Man?s Waltz ? Friday, September 12th! Interweaving the classic songs and jams of The Grateful Dead, The Allman Brothers Band and The Band, Dead Man's Waltz is an all-star collective from the Northeast festival scene. Dead Man's Waltz features top-notch musicianship and offers a refreshing twist to the music of three legendary and iconic bands. While staying true to the spirit of the music, the band members put their own dynamic spin on a vast catalog of beloved songs that are now part of the new American song book. At its core, DMW is a celebration of the long standing tradition of crossover between The Dead, The Allmans and The Band, culminating with the legendary 1973 Summer Jam Music Festival in Watkin's Glenn, NY where the three bands performed together. DMW's arrangements are experiments, as they easily flow from the familiar to the obscure, moving from standards like ''Jessica'' into ''Going Down The Road Feeling Bad'' into ''Don't Do It'' or ''Up On Cripple Creek'' into ''They Love Each Other'' into ''Midnight Rider''. The band always keeps it fresh with new and unexpected arrangements and improvisations, while engaging fans in the free-spirited party and colorful, close-knit community surrounding their shows. With 2 drummers, DMW's line-up mirrors those of both The Dead and The Allmans as well as later line-ups of The Band. Dead Man's Waltz features the all-star lineup of ''Rev'' Tor Krautter on guitar and vocals, Tom Major on drums, Parker McQueeney on keys and vocals, Wesley Childers on guitar and vocals, Jeff Prescott on drums and vocals, and Brian O'Connell on bass and vocals. Each hail from a unique musical background and adds their own personal style, influence and character to the mix (which is exactly what the music calls for). All ages are welcome! Must be 21+ to purchase/drink adult beverages.

Honorary Committee tickets are still available. What is the ?Foundation Experience?? The Foundation was formed in 1811 in response to the growing temperance movement in Saratoga during that time. The town placed a ban on gambling, drinking, and dance, resulting in the suffering of the local arts and culture. Simultaneously, Gideon Putnam began developing Congress Hall Hotel, where arts patrons could congregate in secret and indulge in forbidden activities and culture, while regular hotel business carried on around and above them. The Foundation held hidden performances, drinking, dances, card games, circus acts, and more ? all while its members worked covertly towards public acceptance of artistic recreation. Eventually Congress Hall was demolished. However ? the Saratoga Arts building now sits on Congress Hall?s footprint, and so The Foundation lives on? In an effort to subvert what?s come to be expected from a typical gala, Saratoga Arts? Foundation events offer guests something different. Our Foundation events include all the familiar features: food, libation, and music while inviting the audience to engage in entertainment in new and unexpected ways ? a kind of ?Experiential Art?? with very few details being shared prior. The Foundation aims to push boundaries in our creative community and surprise our patrons with innovative artistic experiences. See less Saratoga Springs, New York
