Celebrating 50 Years of Godfrey Daniels with Dave Fry & John Gorka - NextFavBand

Early in the year 1976, a young musician was seeking a place to perform where people wanted to listen. Frustrated by the spaces where you'd play to a crowd that was otherwise distracted, he sought to find and create an environment where the musician and the audience shared the room and the exchange of energy would be something special. The owner of what was then the Lehigh Tavern (nowadays known as The Funhouse) mentioned that the doughnut shoppe next door was vacant. And the rest is history ... sonically beautiful history. That person was Dave Fry and that space became the legendary Godfrey Daniels. For this episode we honor the legacy of the space and help promote their upcoming Jubilee gala happening on Sat May 23rd to help raise funds for an exciting announcement happening that evening. I'm joined by special guest co-hosts Managing Director Ramona LaBarre and Board Member / committe lead for the Jubilee Kate Hughes. And we have a special pre-recorded interview with co-founder Dave Fry and early performer and volunteer John Gorka, who's gone on to an illustrious career as a singer/songwriter and performer. We explore the founding of the club and how those early years quickly revealed that they built something special. Please enjoy, consider supporting Godfrey Daniels, and hope to see you at the jubilee! #nextfavband #musicdiscovery #musicinterview #livemusic #music #musician #explorepage #musicismylife #musicindustry #musiclife #musiclover #musicfestival
