Modern Moxie, the acclaimed indie rock band hailing from Charlotte, North Carolina, is thrilled to announce the release of their newest single, "Churning". This emotionally charged song delves into themes of deep personal reflection and spirituality, originating from channeled poetry written by lead singer and songwriter Madison Lucas. The poetry, which inspired "Churning", came to Lucas during a moment of profound clarity following a morning meditation session. This latest offering invites listeners to embark on a journey of self-discovery and spiritual exploration. The single is now available for listening on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tianUzNwqsM.
"Churning" stands out as a testament to Modern Moxie's unique approach to music and creativity. The band has consistently differentiated itself through a blend of raw musical talent and innovative strategies that extend beyond their sound. A key element of their distinctiveness is the creative social media strategy dubbed "Moxie TV", created by lead singer Madison Lucas. "Moxie TV" features weekly segments such as Vinyl Corner, Slap Du Jour, and Moxie Talks, fostering a strong sense of community not just around Modern Moxie, but also among other Charlotte musicians.
The band's ability to connect with audiences was unmistakably proven when they were hired last minute to open for the renowned group, The Aces, at The Underground at Fillmore in Charlotte. Despite being relatively unknown, Modern Moxie's performance was a massive success, resonating with a youthful audience and resulting in a complete sell-out of all merchandise. This pivotal moment showcased the band's capability to engage with large crowds and left a lasting impression on new fans.
Adding to their charm, lead singer Madison Lucas personally screenprints all band merchandise by hand, emphasizing eco-friendly and thrifted options. The band also uniquely sells flowers and pickles, sourced from the front yard garden of Lucas and bass player Harry Kollm, a married couple since 2017. This personal touch further establishes Modern Moxie's dedication to their community and environment.
Modern Moxie consists of Madison Lucas (songwriting, guitar, keys, vocals), Harry Kollm (bass), Phil Pucci (lead guitar), and Chris Slezak (drums), with previous contributions from Charlie Weeks on "Live a Fantasy" and "Churning". Since their formation in 2019 and the release of their debut album, "Claw Your Way Out", the band has garnered significant attention. Their track "Flowers in Your Hair" has amassed over 3.9 million streams on Spotify. Following their successful sophomore album, "Gutter Honey", Modern Moxie has received numerous accolades from Queen City Nerve, including "Best Indie Rock Band", "Best Song", and "Best Album".
"Churning" is the latest single from Modern Moxie's upcoming third album, "Tripping the Light Fantastic", set to release in the summer of 2024. The band's dedication to their art and their community continues to shine through their music, promising an evocative and unforgettable experience with each new release.
