The Claudettes are scheduled to return to Traverse City with Lost Swimmer opening the evening at The Alluvion. The concert is listed for Friday, November 6, 2026, with doors at 7 p.m. and the show beginning at 7:30.

The event advertises all-ages general admission, with tickets at $30 in advance and $35 at the door. It is described as a seated-style show where respectful standing and dancing are also welcome.

Two acts, one evening

The organizer describes The Claudettes as a Chicago band whose sound draws on American roots music, blues and R&B with punk energy and a theatrical streak. That is a more useful guide to the evening than assuming it fits neatly into one narrow genre.

The listing names vocalist Rachel Williams, pianist and songwriter Johnny Iguana, Zach Verdoorn on bass, guitar and vocals, and drummer Liz Ele. It also points to the band’s 2026 album Garage Glamour as part of its current work.

Lost Swimmer is advertised as the opening act, with Josh Hoisington, Marc Lacuesta and Courtney Kaiser-Sandler named as the trio. The venue describes layered guitars and vocal harmonies in its presentation of their music.

The event does not publish separate set times or a song list. Arriving for the advertised show start is the clearest way to include the opening performance rather than guessing when the headliner will appear.

Choose the room experience

Seated-style general admission differs from a reserved-seat purchase. Coordinate with friends before arrival if you want to sit together, and use the venue’s current instructions for the room rather than assuming a chair number will be assigned.

The invitation to stand or dance respectfully also helps set expectations: this is a live concert where audience movement is accepted. If your comfort depends on a particular seating arrangement, contact the venue in advance.

The Claudettes’ own website links to a live performance video, offering a way to sample the band before deciding whether the show suits your group. Use the official event page for this date’s booking details.

Set the budget and the arrival plan

Two advance admissions at the posted rate have a $60 base cost, compared with $70 for two at the door if tickets remain. Those calculations exclude any unverified checkout charges or extra purchases.

A listed door price does not guarantee availability. Check the booking link for the current status and read the purchase terms before paying. Cherry Buzz has not confirmed the final checkout total.

The Alluvion is on the second floor at 414 East Eighth Street. Keep the digital ticket confirmation accessible and allow time to reach the room before the performance begins.

If adding dinner, arrange it separately from the concert and leave a realistic gap for travel and arrival. The venue’s bar is available, but that does not establish a meal included with the ticket.

The calendar gives a 7-to-10-p.m. event window; the announced performance start is 7:30. Keep those two pieces of information distinct when sharing the plan, and avoid promising an exact finishing time for an individual set.

Check the event listing again close to November 6. With the opening act, ticket and room format clear, the evening offers a defined live-music outing that brings two different acts onto the same Traverse City stage.
