Catch ‘BUGS’ this Weekend at Zoellner and get ready for a Fun-Filled February
February at Zoellner Arts Center kicks off with a show built for families. On Sunday, February 1, acclaimed guitarist Kaki King and GLITCH bring BUGS, an imaginative concert that blends music, storytelling, and colorful projection visuals to explore the world of beetles, critters, and ecology.
Designed with kids in mind, BUGS turns live music into a visual experience.

The performance is playful, engaging, and a great first concert experience for young audiences.

Celebrate 50 Years of Godfrey Daniels with Upcoming Listening-Room Shows (Jan–May 2026)
It’s the 50th year of a Lehigh Valley absolute treasure, and this is the year you go if you haven’t been.
Since opening on March 19, 1976, Godfrey Daniels has built a national reputation with great artists, a quiet room, and an audience that prioritizes listening.
The club began as a coffeehouse in a former doughnut shop on Bethlehem’s Southside, founded by Dave Fry and Cindy Dinsmore, and it has been nurturing live music ever since. It became a nonprofit soon after, helping keep the focus where it belongs, on the performers and the shared experience in the room.
There is nothing quite like this intimate Southside Bethlehem listening room, where the whole point is to show up, listen closely, and leave with a new favorite artist.
