Saturday, April 5 at 7 p.m.— LUDLOW—Music lovers, mark your calendars. The Heald Auditorium in Ludlow Town Hall will come alive this Saturday at 7 p.m. as Friends of Ludlow Auditorium (FOLA) presents an electrifying evening of live music featuring three standout regional acts: Allegra & the Daydreamers, Unqualified, and Sammy B.

Admission is free, and all are welcome to attend. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. Donations are appreciated to support future programming.

Headlining the evening is Allegra & the Daydreamers, a rising four-piece band led by Vermont-based singer-songwriter and pianist Allegra Lawson. Known for their genre-blending sound, the group delivers everything from piano ballads to danceable jams and psychedelic rock textures. Performing original songs and select covers, the band encourages audiences to shake off their stress: “Stuck in your head? Try dancing it out!”

Joining the lineup is Unqualified, a southern Vermont jam band that promises to deliver good vibes and high-energy grooves. Comprised of brothers Max, Nick, and Harry Blank, along with Evan Coleman on piano, Unqualified brings a blend of improvisation, rhythm, and feel-good music ideal for getting audiences on their feet.

Rounding out the evening is Sammy B [Blanchette], a Ludlow native and veteran musician whose dynamic guitar work and versatile style span rock, blues, reggae, and jazz. With a setlist that includes both original material and covers of artists like the Grateful Dead, Phish, Tom Petty, and Jimi Hendrix, Sammy’s performance promises a blend of nostalgia and originality rooted in two decades of musical experience across New England.

“This is an event where you may want to make sure you’re wearing your dancing shoes,” said Scott Stearns, FOLA’s program director.

Whether you’re a longtime fan or just looking for a fun and lively night out, the April 5 concert in Ludlow is a celebration of local talent and community spirit.
