Old-Time music is the real thing: music the way it is supposed to be, played for the sheer joy of swapping songs and having a good time. Come to our own back porch session and bring your guitar or banjo, fiddle or mando, bones, what have you. Just for the fun of it!

Joey Mutis’s (III, that is) music has been a breath of fresh air in the Lehigh Valley’s music scene for years, now. We can’t help but applaud his Electric Farm, with its always crisp arrangements, tasty folk-pop sound and Joey’s quirky songs. There’s elements of The Kinks, Neil Young and Nick Drake (look him up…). Anyway, it’ll be an evening of delicious music, guaranteed!
A new album is on the horizon with the band further exploring the “folksy space rock situation”. The Farm is Joey Mutis III on guitar, Paul Gehman on bass, Michael Frank on keyboards, and Roger Cox on drums.

Some summer nights at Godfrey’s are reserved for hidden treasures that come from our neighboring backyards. Jay Smar is such a treasure, hailing from Jim Thorpe and the coal regions with stories, songs, and instrumentals. As a songwriter, Jay has placed as a finalist at the Kerrville Folk Festival, and has shared the stage with such notables from Leo Kottke to Norman Blake to Emmylou Harris, to name only a few. You may have seen Jay performing at the Forksville, New Jersey, or Philadelphia Folk Festivals. He was also commissioned to write music for a BBC Wales documentary called, “The Welsh in America.” Jay’s historical album, The Ballad of Glen Onoko was inducted into the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C. Tom Paxton remarks: "...there is fire in his fiddle and it'll spread to your heart. Catch him if you can." We invite you to join us in welcoming an undiscovered artist – you won’t be disappointed.

Having taken their self-styled "Pennsylvania Dutch Rock" to Europe and the greater American soundscape, Frog Holler brings back a boat full of critical raves and reviews. With a rustic and soulful sound reminiscent of The Band, they weave Dobro, banjo, and acoustic guitar with rock underpinnings and have created a deliriously entertaining stage presence. Darren Schlappich's original songs have a plainspoken eloquence, causing Nick Cristiano of The Philadelphia Inquirer to say: "When it comes to capturing his place in the world, Schlappich continues to stand head and shoulders above most Americana songwriters." This is a show that always sells out, so get your seats reserved early.

A low-volume get-together for swapping songs and riffs with other blues players. Hosted by Tavern Tan featuring Doug Ashby, Tom Axcel, Andrew Brubaker, and Dave Joachim.

Blame Sally is: Pam Delgado, Renee Harcourt, Jeri Jones, and Monica Pasqual. These four accomplished instrumentalist/singers combine their strikingly different approaches to create a distinct and beautiful sound that's been described as emotionally charged, highly melodic, and compelling. Their music is an eclectic blend of pop-motivated folk – intelligent, emotional, and alive with syncopation and melody with lush, inventive arrangements and compelling songs. The San Francisco Chronicle called Blame Sally's self-produced/self released second album "intelligently emotional, intricately harmonized folk-pop" with "imaginatively arranged, expansive narrative songs." Help welcome this West Coast band in its Godfrey’s debut.
