Rock and Roll with a Purpose

Who We Are

Modesty Shorts is a high-energy charity rock and cover band based in the Boston/Newton area. What started as a group of friends jamming in a garage has grown into one of Greater Boston's most beloved live acts.

We play the classics that everyone loves — from rock anthems to crowd-pleasing hits spanning decades. But what truly sets us apart is our mission: using music to make a difference.

To date, we've raised over $40,000 for Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, and we're just getting started. Every gig is an opportunity to bring people together, create unforgettable memories, and give back to our community.

Our Mission

We believe music has the power to heal, unite, and inspire. That's why we donate our time and talent to charity events, fundraisers, and community causes throughout the Greater Boston area.
