Jesse Ruben and Kate Gaffney come together for a co-bill night of songs shaped by years on the road and deep roots in the songwriting tradition. Ruben brings his sharp lyrical storytelling and songs heard on TV and streaming platforms worldwide, including his top-10 single “This Is Why I Need You.” Gaffney draws from her coast-to-coast touring life and her concept album Here by the Ocean, inspired by coastal living and collaboration with longtime Philadelphia musicians. Set in the Intimate Atmosphere of Godfrey Daniels, this evening offers a close-up experience with two artists whose work blends personal stories, wide-ranging influences, and a strong connection to their audiences in a true Live Music Listening Room.
