Simple Gifts will be returning to the Allentown Public Library for another performance of traditional folk music. The concert will begin at 5:00pm and will be immediately followed by a workshop on ukulele basics at 6:00pm. No experience required for the ukulele workshop. Come to one or both events!
Combining tradition with innovation, Simple Gifts creates some of the finest arrangements in folk music today: swing fiddle creeps into a Romanian dance, spoons show up in an Irish reel, and a blues lick introduces a Klezmer melody. Based in the hills of central Pennsylvania, these women play an amazing array of instruments. Linda Littleton and Karen Hirshon switch with ease among fiddle, mandolin, banjo, guitar, guitjo, recorders, bowed psaltery, hammered dulcimer, baritone fiddle, guitar, and percussion.
Please call or email to register.

Gráinne Hunt is one of Ireland’s most compelling vocalists and songwriters, known for deeply personal songs and a commanding vocal presence. Performing as a duo with San Diego–based drummer and vocalist Jules Stewart, Hunt expands her work into a dynamic bi-continental queer folk collaboration marked by close harmonies, emotional clarity, and strong musical chemistry. With comparisons ranging from Tracy Chapman and Natalie Merchant to Indigo Girls and Brandi Carlile, their performances balance intimacy and power—an ideal fit for the attentive, welcoming setting of Godfrey Daniels.

“(Werner is) a songwriter and musician who is in such complete command of her gifts that it’s almost scary.” — All Music Guide
Susan Werner brings to Godfrey Daniels a body of work that stretches across folk, jazz-influenced pop, musical theater, gospel, and classic American song styles. A lifelong musician with formal training in voice, piano, and guitar, Werner’s performances feel like a guided tour through her wide musical world—smart, finely crafted, and full of personality. Her songs have been recorded by artists from Tom Jones to Michael Feinstein, and her recent album The Birds of Florida continues her tradition of inventive originals.

Jack Murray and Dave Fry hit the road, so to speak, with “Travelin’ Man”, an exploration of folk, blues, and country music and the lure of the road. Songs about trains, planes, automobiles, and the like have always been staples of great story songs. As always, Dave’s Night Out features music, engaging conversations with the audience, a good dose of humor, and occasional moments of intelligence.
