SIRSY
FIERY, SULTRY, SOULFUL, INDIE POP THAT ROCKS.
SIRSY is fronted by the charismatic Melanie Krahmer...
a girl with a "stunning voice capable of a lion's roar & a
floaty whisper" ... “with the lungs of a teenage athlete & the growl of a 60-something blues singer". Krahmer is
also the drummer, playing a full drum kit, STANDING UP,
bass (on a keyboard with her drum stick), Ian Anderson-esque flute solos and melodica, too! Sharing the stage is
co-writer, Rich Libutti, on guitar. Libutti also plays piano,
bass (on a keyboard at his feet!), & even the occassional
snare part (with his feet!). Despite the multi-tasking on
stage, the duo has a "dynamic stage presence and raw
chemistry" that has critics & fans raving!!
Playing 250+ shows/year nationally, SIRSY's shared the
stage w/Maroon 5, Third Eye Blind, Lifehouse, Collective
Soul, Blues Traveler, Cheap Trick, Grace Potter, & more!
Featured in Nov 2008 Relix Magazine & CD (alongside Joan
Osborne, Lucinda Williams) & the film “So Right, So Smart”
(Daryl Hannah, Bare Naked Ladies, Guster).
