The Kennedys began their writing and touring life three decades ago as members of Nanci Griffith’s Blue Moon Orchestra, developing their own sound as a frequent support act on Nanci’s tours across America, Ireland, Scotland and England. Along the way, they hosted a nationwide radio program, “The Dharma Cafe” on Sirius/XM, and wrote and released seventeen CDs. This year they celebrate the thirtieth anniversary of their first release, "River of Fallen Stars" with a specially curated tour that will cover the full breadth of their catalog of songs, featuring a different playlist with a song from every one of their albums at each show.

Pete and Maura's songs show the influence of classic melodies and harmonies that harken back to Buddy Holly and the Everly Brothers, with twin guitar textures that recall the lush sound of The Byrds and West Coast country rock. Their lyrics are uplifting, empowering and encouraging, delivered in a spirit of intimacy and empathy. During the pandemic lockdown, they performed over a thousand songs on a weekly series of live-streamed concerts, but their real love is live performance, where every lyric and guitar lick goes straight to the heart. With thirty years of recording and touring behind them, these self-proclaimed folk-rockers are still going strong.

The Lehigh Valley’s Original Live Music Listening Room Since 1976 – Where Every Ticket is a Backstage Pass!

Godfrey Daniels, a nonprofit live music venue known as a listening room located in the heart of Southside Bethlehem, PA, is renowned as one of the finest and the second-longest continuously operating listening rooms in the United States. It’s a cherished space where artists and audiences can come together to celebrate live, diverse music in a truly immersive and unforgettable setting that embodies the essence of music appreciation.

SO, WHAT IS A ‘MUSIC LISTENING ROOM’?

A music listening room is a dedicated space or venue designed to create an intimate and focused atmosphere for live music performances. It provides a setting where the primary focus is on the music and the experience of actively listening to it. Unlike traditional concert venues or bars, music listening rooms prioritize respectful attention from the audience, creating an environment where the music takes center stage and performers can connect with their listeners on a deeper level. The seating arrangement, acoustics, and overall ambiance of a music-listening room are carefully designed to enhance the listening experience, allowing for a more intimate and immersive encounter between the audience and the artists.
