Lehigh Valley’s original live music listening room
For over 40 years, Godfrey Daniels has been considered one of the best listening rooms around, where people come to appreciate live music, and to celebrate a rare place where both the artist and the audience rise to the occasion.
Godfrey Daniels Annual Martin Guitar Raffle will be a bit of a challenge this year. Since we won’t be gathering for shows, all ticket sales will be online. This is our major fundraiser for the year, so please share with your friends. Click to purchase tickets.
NIVA National Independent Venue Association
These entertainment hubs are critical to their local economies and tax bases as employers, tourism destinations, and revenue generators for neighboring businesses such as restaurants, hotels, and retail. Independent venues exist in every state across the country; they were the first to be closed, they will be the last to open. The economic recovery process will extend past just reopening the front doors, requiring solutions unique to the industry.
Godfrey Daniels has a decades-long reputation of inclusion among our volunteers and our community of artists. We have always strived to represent cultural diversity in our artistic programming. Our core values reflect a policy of non-discrimination – regardless of race, gender identity, sexual identity, or other attributes that might lead to marginalization.
Godfrey Daniels has always practiced and embraced diversity with real-world community action. The Civil Rights movement, the Vietnam protests and other progressive movements have revolved around powerful folk music statements by fearless songwriters and performers. We can do no less in these unsettled times.
Our historic venue is a solid fixture on Bethlehem’s south side – an urban community rising out of the roots of a blue collar steel town – and our dedication to the heritage of folk music links our past to our future. But we do not rely on our past alone, and that is why Godfrey Daniels pledges to grow in ways that represent the community in which we live. And we continue to denounce racism and hatred, choosing only kindness and peace.
