“Little Band, Big Sound” -The Boston Globe

Indie Pop Rock duo, SIRSY, makes music chock full of soul and sincerity with just the right amount of sass. With hook-drenched, resonating melodies and clever, honest lyrics, their songs run the gamut from wildly joyful to utterly heartbreaking. SIRSY is comprised of guitarist Rich Libutti, a lover of The Beatles and Bowie, and singer/drummer Melanie Krahmer, who’s sultry and powerful voice sounds like the love child of Eartha Kitt and Superman. Reviewers say, “Melanie Krahmer has a stunning, inimitable, voice capable of a lion’s roar and a floaty whisper, with the lungs of a teenage athlete”. She also plays a full drum kit while standing up, handles bass (played on a keyboard with her drumstick), and even throws in an occasional flute solo. Rich Libutti plays everything else, including bass (on a keyboard at his feet); and is the anchor to Melanie’s on stage tornado. Together, the two create a dynamic, full sound which makes listeners swear there are more than two musicians on stage.

With a relentless tour schedule, SIRSY plays over 200 shows a year along the east coast and mid-west. They’ve shared stages with Grace Potter and the Nocturnals, Maroon5, Train, RaRaRiot, Boys Like Girls, Third Eye Blind, Life House, Blues Traveler, Cheap Trick, and many more.
