Great name for a band
Modest Geese
The story
Modest Geese was formed in 2012 by a group of high school friends from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Band members Charlie (lead vocals, guitar), Jessie (bass guitar), Ted (drums), and Alex (keyboard), initially began playing music together as a way to unwind during the weekends. The name Modest Geese was chosen as an homage to their humble beginnings - jamming in their parents' garages while trying not to disturb the neighborhood with their honking music. As they matured, so did their sound, attracting a local fan base and eventually leading to gigs in local bars and venues. Their unique blend of genres and relatable lyrics resonated with a diverse audience, and they soon found themselves on the road touring the East Coast.
Feathers of Freedom
Verse 1 Em G Through the halls of our youth, we march alone D A Dreams of flying high, from seeds we've sown Em G The strings in our hands, the beats in our heart D A Strumming the rhythm of a brand-new start Chorus Em G Feathers of Freedom, take us high D A Into the wide, open sky Em G Carried by the winds of change D A Into a world that's not arranged Verse 2 Em G To the beat of our own drum, we sing our song D A In the face of adversity, we stand strong Em G Our melody echoes, far and wide D A With the rise of the tide, we cast aside (Chorus repeats) Bridge C G With every strum, with every beat D A We rise together, from our seat C G With every cry, with every cheer D A We break the silence, we conquer fear (Chorus repeats)
Biggest fan
Our favorite fan is undoubtedly Sarah Thompson. Sarah, a Philly local, has been with us since our first gig at a local bar. She has attended almost every show we've played, and her infectious energy and enthusiasm never cease to lift our spirits. In her words, "Modest Geese isn't just a band, it's an experience. Their music speaks to my soul, and their live performances are electrifying. I've never felt more connected to a group of musicians than I do to Charlie, Jessie, Ted, and Alex. Modest Geese is my favorite band because they're real, they're relatable, and their music is a reflection of life's highs and lows."
