Modern Refuge / Xavier Serrano

Modern Refuge

Modern Refuge has carved out a unique space in the vibrant music scene of Connecticut and has quickly become one of the most exciting, must-see live acts around. Rooted in an intimate folk-rock sensibility, Modern Refuge expands their sound into a sweeping, cinematic landscape, punctuated by anthemic choruses and prog-rock flourishes. Their chemistry and spirit harks back to the high-energy acts of the 70s.

They have opened for international touring acts including Sammy Hagar and The Circle, George Thorogood & The Destroyers, Talk, and Rozzi.

They released their debut full length album, Runaway Dream, on August 1, 2025.

Xavier Serrano:

“Serrano is a local native to New Haven, CT

Influenced by artists like The Pentangle, Bert Jansch, Radiohead, Jeff Buckley, Jerthro Tull and Nick Drake, Xavier fuses traditional folk, melodic styles and modern alternative forms. Instrumental expressions with accompanied acoustic guitars, piano, string and wind instruments. His songwriting spins stories of deep sentiments; perseverance in the face of love, loss, grief, and the contemplations of life’s meaning and spiritual concepts. Utilizing on the discordant chords of Jazz, Celtic folk, and Alternative Rock. Weaving together sounds of chamber music. Providing a sense of classical standards of the British folk-revival era and alternative rock.”
