Heather Hurlock & Brad Hinton bring their new collaborative project to Godfrey Daniels, drawing on a decade of making music together. Heather Hurlock’s cinematic writing and ethereal voice pair seamlessly with Brad Hinton’s musical finesse and timeless approach to songcraft. Their harmonies—pure, effortless, and haunting—form the center of a sound rooted in dreamy folk melodies that linger long after the final chord. Both artists have deep roots in the Pennsylvania folk and Americana scene, from Heather’s early work with Tin Bird Choir to Brad’s many collaborations across the region.

Opening the night is Emme Drago, a Reading-based singer-songwriter whose genre-blending approach and fresh perspective offer a personal, resonant start to the show. Join us for an intimate evening in our Live Music Listening Room as they create an atmosphere that feels personal, transportive, and full of connection.

Step into the evocative world of Big Lazy, the NYC-based instrumental trio led by composer and guitarist Stephen Ulrich. With a stripped-down lineup of electric guitar, upright bass, and drums, Big Lazy crafts richly cinematic soundscapes that blend noir, surf, jazz, blues, and rockabilly into something entirely their own.

Known for scoring HBO’s Bored to Death and the acclaimed documentary Art and Craft, Ulrich leads the band with a guitar style that is moody, atmospheric, and unmistakably original. Whether evoking smoky back rooms or wide open highways, Big Lazy delivers a performance that feels like the soundtrack to an unwritten film.

Join us for an afternoon flea market with a one-of-a-kind shopping experience that’s edgy, eclectic, and unique. Punk and alternative lovers will find handmade crafts and jewelry, vintage clothes and t-shirts, stickers, vinyl, tattoo artists, and more. Don’t forget to visit our tattoo vendors upstairs in the skyboxes!

Grammy-nominated and twice-inducted into the Blues Hall of Fame, Professor Louie & The Crowmatix bring their legendary Woodstock sound to Godfrey Daniels. Led by Aaron “Professor Louie” Hurwitz—producer and collaborator for The Band—the group delivers a powerhouse mix of Rock, Blues, Gospel, and Americana. With 17 acclaimed albums, unforgettable performances, and deep roots in American music history, their shows connect audiences through stories, musicianship, and a spirit that’s equal parts jam and tradition. Don’t miss this night of pure, roots-driven energy in an intimate listening room setting.

Prepare to be blown away! DRUM TAO delivers a breathtaking spectacle of raw power and exquisite artistry. Imagine the earth resonating with the thunderous pulse of massive Wadaiko drums, interwoven with the soaring melodies of Japanese flutes and the delicate shimmer of harps. This isn't just a performance; it's a visceral experience that shatters expectations and redefines Japanese entertainment for a new generation.

From sold-out Off-Broadway runs that had Newsweek hailing them as a representation of Japan itself, to their wildly popular "MANGEKYO" long-run in Tokyo, DRUM TAO has captivated audiences worldwide. They've even shared the stage with the legendary Bolshoi Ballet and opened "Japonisms 2018" in Paris. Their global impact is undeniable, with a top-ranking debut album on iTunes and numerous prestigious awards from the Japanese government.

Danielia Cotton returns with the kind of presence that makes a room sit forward. Known for her fiery voice and fearless blend of rock, soul, gospel, and jazz, she brings a career shaped by acclaimed performances and stages shared with Robert Cray, Bon Jovi, and Gregg Allman. Her latest work reimagines Charley Pride classics, adding classic country to her already wide-ranging palette. Critics from The New York Times to Country Universe and WXPN celebrate her power, versatility, and emotional force, making this a night that embodies everything a Godfrey Daniels audience treasures in a true Live Music Listening Room.

Maddie & Tae can’t help themselves. Since bursting into public consciousness with the power-acoustic slayer “Girl In A Country Song,” which skewered BroCountry’s female stereotypes and received the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame’s coveted I Wish I Wrote That Song honor, the ride-or-die besties have been speaking truth about what it means to be smart, young women.
