MODAFFERI

Modafferi (moe•DAH•free)

Singer songwriter, Brian Modafferi, fronts the band with his powerful, soulful voice & guitar, rolling out great originals, that are instant crowd pleasers. 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. Brian originally played with a variety of bands for more than 20 years, all different styles, eventually focusing on songwriting with a sprinkling of deep cut covers. Brian is completely original and authentic. He just released a brand new album, The Production - Modafferi, recorded entirely at home.

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.

Todd Swenson, recent CNY resident, is a veteran of many musical situations on both the East and West Coast, where he played everything from Classical and World music to Rock and Jazz Fusion.

Drummer Scott Donahue adds a dynamic blend of energy, and experience to the creative mix of Modafferi.

Expect a soulful, empowering live show, with funky, melodic, lyrical rock and roll.
