Modafferi (Mo•da•free)
If Tom Petty and Elvis Costello had a love child, it would sound like Modafferi.
Singer songwriter, Brian Modafferi, fronts the band with his powerful, soulful voice & guitar, rolling out great originals, rare covers and groovy b-sides by much loved, but seldom heard artists. Writing at a young age, Brian is an inventive and clever musician and song writer, with wide open vulnerability and honesty within it. It feels both raw and very refined, all at once.
Tamaralee provides vocals that reflect her years of vocalizing with big bands, jazz combos, soul-funk party bands, swampy blues and indie rock groups, while keeping it down on the bass.
Expect a soulful, empowering live show, with funky, melodic, lyrical rock and roll.
Genre: “Punk, Funk, Soul and Roll”
Hometown: Syracuse, NY
Influences: Elvis Costello, Wilco, James Brown, Neil Young, Sly and The Family Stone, Gram Parker, Talking Heads, Tom Petty
