ludo

Ludo is an alternative rock band from St. Louis, Missouri. Ludo's origins can be traced to songs written while Andrew Volpe was still in high school at John Burroughs School in Ladue, Missouri. While sitting in his car in the local Schnucks supermarket parking lot after class, Volpe penned songs that would become some of Ludo's first, including their local breakout radio hit "Hum Along". After his sophomore year at Washington University, Volpe decided to form a band with fellow John Burroughs graduate Dave Heltibrand. The two began seeking a guitarist, and Saint Louis University High School graduate Tim Ferrell took them up on the offer while home on break from the University of Notre Dame on summer break.The three adopted the name Ludo after a character in the film Labyrinth.
