Sirsy

$8 cover

Sirsy is an indie pop-rock duo with lots of heart, soul, & sass. Hailing from Upstate NY, Sirsy wows crowds at 250 shows per year all over the US. (Locals may have seen the band at Floyd Fest and Floyd Yoga Jam!) Sirsy is fronted by singer-songwriter & drummer Melanie Krahmer (who also plays bass on a keyboard with her drumstick). Mel’s incredible voice is “one of the most powerful and flexible voices you’ll ever hear” (Times Union, NY). Mel’s bandmate, husband, co-writer, & bestie is Rich Libutti. Rich masterfully plays a well-loved and road worn Rickenbacker through a pedal board full of vintage effects (& bass on a pedal board with his feet). These 2 multi-instrumentalists manage to sound like a full band and somehow do it all with big smiles on their faces. “Their clever smart songs have more hooks than a tackle box” (Times Union) with lyrics about empowerment and resilience. Sirsy’s live shows include heartfelt stories, dance parties, and nerdy jokes. Their fans have supported the duo through the pandemic, their 11 records, and Mel’s 2 bouts with cancer. So, every show is like a celebration for this couple and their fans. Come celebrate life with them!

Sirsy has warmed stages for: Maroon 5, Brandi Carlile, Grace Potter, Train, Collective Soul, Cheap Trick, Lifehouse, Spindoctors, Blues Traveler, Patty Smyth and many more. Their songs have been featured on HBO, PBS, MTV, and on Showtime’s hit TV show “Shameless”. Their last several records were produced by Grammy-Winner Paul Q Kolderie. The Boston Globe calls Sirsy “the little band with the big sound” and the SXSW Music Blog says “Sirsy’s not just a 2 piece but a head scratching WOW!”

“SIRSY is your favorite band, you just don’t know it yet.” – Rochester City Newspaper.
