Dave’s Night Out – Lehigh University Archivists Edition! A Discussion, Show, Tell, and Listen About the Ongoing Preservation of Godfrey Daniels History and Digital Music Archives

Overview

Dave’s Night Out returns with a special Archivists Edition featuring the librarians from the Archives and Special Collections at Lehigh University’s Linderman Library. As part of the Godfrey Daniels 50th Anniversary Season, the evening explores the ongoing work to preserve and digitize the venue’s history — including decades of concert recordings, posters, and memorabilia that capture the story of one of the region’s most influential folk music spaces.

Through conversation, show-and-tell moments from the archives, and a few songs and stories from Dave Fry, the night offers a rare look behind the scenes of how Godfrey Daniels’ legacy is being documented and shared. In the venue’s signature Live Music Listening Room setting, it’s an opportunity to connect the music, memories, and community that have shaped South Bethlehem for the past 50 years.
