ModTie Etiquette

ModTie Etiquette was not meant to be a permanent fixture on any of the current members’ schedules. The reason for its inception, a summer project, led to something much greater. “This was only supposed to last 7 weeks” exclaimed Chelsea Hartner; vocalist and leader. “I wanted to debut some music before leaving Michigan for Portland, Oregon”. The combination of writing and performance skills possessed by the original band members mated with rich layers of soulful jazz and blues, promised a future for this rag-tag combo. After realizing the potential – and listening to the convincing words of her guitarist, Chelsea decided to remain in her home state. Encroaching a full year together the band looks to dazzle audiences with new songs; both original and interpreted renditions of favorites to enlighten another summer.
