Three Bands Headline Ludlow Musical

Event, April 5 in Heald Auditorium

Get ready to rock! This April 5, three powerhouse bands are set to take the stage for an unforgettable night of music, energy, and excitement you won't want to miss.

FOLA (Friends of Ludlow Auditorium) is sponsoring this musical treat on Saturday, April 5 at 7 PM in the Heald Auditorium of Ludlow's Town Hall. The three bands include the Unqualified, Allegra and the DayDreamers, and Sammy B.

Allegra Lawson is a singer, songwriter, and pianist living in Vermont. Allegra plays frequently in southern Vermont and has played all around New England. Notable venues include the Cuzzin's Stage at Mount Snow, the Snowbarn, the Dover Bar & Grill, the Midway Cafe, and the Strand Theatre on Martha's Vineyard. Allegra fronts a four-piece band called "Allegra & the Daydreamers." Formally established in 2023, the Daydreamers play Allegra's original work, along with tunes from other band members and some covers. Introspective piano ballads, searing guitar solos, spacey jams, and plenty of danceable bangers, nothing is off-limits for the Daydreamers. "Stuck in your head? Try dancing it out!"

Unqualified, a Southern VT-based jam band featuring brothers Max, Nick, and Harry Blank, and cool cat, Evan Coleman on piano. They'll bring the love and good vibes, and you just need to bring your dancin' shoes!

Sammy B (Blanchette) is a Ludlow native. His setlist ranges from his own original songs to covers of artists like the Grateful Dead, Eric Clapton, Phish, Tom Petty, the Eagles, Jimi Hendrix, and more. Sammy Blanchette, is a New England based singer/songwriter multi-instrumentalist who's career spans already two decades. His performance career began primarily out of Southern Connecticut in 2003 and he has since found a primary home in Southern Vermont in the Okemo Valley as of 2018. His style of work on electric and acoustic guitar ranges from a broad mix of rock, jazz, reggae, blues and jam band styles.

According to Scott Stearns, FOLA's Program Director, "This an event where you may want to make sure you're wearing your dancing shoes."

The doors to the auditorium will open at 6:30 PM. Admission is free but donations are appreciated. For information, call 802-228-323

One of the most popular Disney movies of all time is capturing hearts in a whole new way: as a practically perfect musical! Based on the books by P.L. Travers and the classic Walt Disney film, Cameron Mackintosh and Disney's Mary Poppins delighted Broadway audiences for over 2,500 performances and received nominations for nine Olivier and seven Tony Awards, including Best Musical.

The jack-of-all trades, Bert, introduces us to England in 1910 and the troubled Banks family. Young Jane and Michael have sent many a nanny packing before Mary Poppins arrives on their doorstep. Using a combination of magic and common sense, she must teach the family members how to value each other again. Mary Poppins takes the children on many magical and memorable adventures, but Jane and Michael aren't the only ones upon whom she has a profound effect. Even grown-ups can learn a lesson or two from the nanny who advises that "Anything can happen if you let it."

Mary Poppins is an enchanting mixture of irresistible story, unforgettable songs, breathtaking dance numbers and astonishing stagecraft. This show is a perfect opportunity to showcase a strong, iconic female performer, as well as unique special effects and illusions.

Maple Monday!

Welcome to the start of a brand new week.

Our Maple Open House weekend was a huge success and we want to thank each and every one of you who attended. Folks enjoyed touring our sugar house, sampling our syrup, and chatting with the maple crew. Jackson's candy was a hit and he came home with an empty container and a big smile. Dominic had the pleasure of greeting folks as they arrived for the tour, many he'd never met before! And Kenna had two very busy afternoons giving barn tours! Thank you all for allowing us to share our love of maple and farming with you.

Our daughter-in-law shared with us a recipe she made recently. Sticky Maple Sesame Chicken! Crispy bite-sized chicken coated in a mouthwatering sticky maple and sesame sauce. It sounds simply yummy and I can't wait to get it on our menu! Give it a whirl and let us know what you think.

Don't forget to stop by our website. You know you can shop, view recipes, check out our farm stand info, learn about our CSA program , and check the local weather. Shop today and we'll ship! Bring a taste of Vermont maple into your homes.
