Godfrey Daniels, one of the United States\u2019 longest-running nonprofit concert venues, is noting its \u201c50th Jubilee Celebration,\u201d marking five decades of music, storytelling and community on Bethlehem\u2019s SouthSide.<\/p>\n
The Golden Anniversary culminates within a \u201cJubilee Event,\u201d May 23, Foy Hall, Moravian University, featuring Larry Campbell and Teresa Williams, an acclaimed Americana duo known for their work with Levon Helm and Bob Dylan.<\/p>\n
Larry Campbell and Teresa Williams have been making music together, and building a life together, since 1986.<\/p>\n
Campbell, a New York City native known for his virtuosity on stringed instruments, first met Williams, a vocalist and actress from Peckerwood Point, Tenn., in a Manhattan rehearsal studio.<\/p>\n
They traveled on the road for concerts in Bob Dylan\u2019s band and performed with Levon Helm at his \u201cMidnight Rambles\u201d in Woodstock, N.Y.<\/p>\n
The duo released their self-titled debut in 2015. Their albums Include \u201cAll This Time,\u201d \u201cContraband Love\u201d and \u201cLive at Levon\u2019s.\u201d<\/p>\n
A year-long anniversary season honors Godfrey Daniels\u2019 legacy and future.<\/p>\n
Founded in 1976, Godfrey Daniels is an 80-seat venue dedicated to presenting local, regional, national and international artists.<\/p>\n
The 50th anniversary season includes four anniversary concerts at the Charles A. Brown Ice House, Bethlehem.<\/p>\n
The first concert, March 21, headlined Bakithi Kumalo & The South African All Stars. The Grammy Award-winning bassist is renowned for his groundbreaking work on Paul Simon\u2019s landmark album, \u201cGraceland.\u201d<\/p>\n
July 10, Sept. 11 and Oct.16 concerts at the Ice House are to be announced.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re celebrating more than an anniversary,\u201d said Ramona LaBarre, Managing Director of Godfrey Daniels.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor 50 years, Godfrey Daniels has been a place where people gather to truly listen, to music, to stories, and to one another. This Jubilee reflects where we\u2019ve been and looks boldly ahead to the next 50 years,\u201d LaBarre said.<\/p>\n
During five decades, Godfrey Daniels has hosted thousands of performances and become a beloved home for artists and audiences alike. Its impact reaches far beyond its walls, supporting generations of musicians, strengthening community connections and preserving a vital part of the region\u2019s cultural fabric.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe 50th Jubilee is a milestone not just for Godfrey Daniels, but for the entire Lehigh Valley,\u201d said Dave Fry, co-founder of Godfrey Daniels. \u201cIt reflects the power of community-supported arts spaces and the lasting role Godfrey Daniels continues to play in our cultural life.\u201d<\/p>\n
