Sirsy

Summary

FREE SHOW!! * SIRSY is a ROCK & SOUL DUO with lots of pop sensibility & just the right amount of sass! Fronted by charismatic lead singer, Melanie who is also the band’s drummer and plays a full kit standing up. Melanie plays bass parts on a keyboard with her drum stick and even throws in some mean flute solos. Rich Libutti plays a road worn and well loved Rickenbacker through a pedal board full of vintage effects. He also pays bass with his feet and tells super nerdy Star Wars jokes. SIRSY is known for passionate performances that often include lots of stories from the road, laughs, and dance parties. It’s a good time! :) SIRSY plays 250+ shows per year nationally & has played with Grace Potter, Maroon 5, Cheap Trick, Train, and many more. Their music is featured on Showtime’s hit tv show “Shameless”. CHECK OUT SIRSY: http://www.sirsy.com VIDEO: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gx6RJZMelds Sassy Singer-Songwriter Rock with lots of heart & soul. Folk-like intimacy and storytelling. Sing along pop melodies. This duo can make you dance, sing along, laugh and cry all in the same show. SIRSY is powerful and strong. It’s just always been that way. The duo has unparalleled tenacity and resolve, even when living life on the road, or staring down cancer and all the uncertainty that it brings. And when cancer reared its ugly head a second time, again SIRSY emerged victorious. Melanie Krahmer plays the drums, mans the Roland Trigger Pad, and belts out bolts of hooks. Her voice—christ, that voice—is strictly stratospheric. Guitarist Rich Libutti plays big star hooks that are as sleek as Krahmer’s getaway sticks… SIRSY is your favorite band, you just don’t know it yet. (–Frank De Blase, City Newspaper, Rochester, NY) “The little band with the big sound.” (–Boston Globe, MA) “Melanie Krahmer has one of the most powerful and flexible voices you’ll ever hear. And their songs have more hooks than a tackle box.” (–Times Union, Albany NY). “Both my ears and spirit were healed… one of the few times I’ve gotten chills at a show… This pair really knows how to make a connection with their audience.” (–Shutter 16 Magazine, Charlotte NC) “This is EXACTLY what the heart and spirit of SXSW has always been about… Pouring their souls out and rocking the shit outta the crowd, was SIRSY…phenomenal! SIRSY is NOT simply a two piece, they are a head scratching, WOW! The guitar player is flawless and raw. Clean enough to be enjoyed, and just edgy enough to make you grin. The lead singer/drummer/bass player was stunning. With a great voice and an even better smile, the drummer is the center of attention, as she should be. Singing and playing drums has always been an impressive task. Now throw in the bass tracks and work that AT THE SAME TIME…DAMN! This is the complete package in a fun sized, rock and roll, smiling laughing, have a good goddamn time with your friends, band! ( — William Tompkins, SXSW Music Blog, Austin TX) “It’s edgy-feel-good”music. You’ve gotta go see them.” (–Houston Music Blog, TX).
