Sirsy

Sassy Singer-Songwriter Rock with lots of heart & soul. With more hooks than a tackle box, Sirsy songs are full of melodies that make you want to sing along. Their shows have a folk-like intimacy with lots of storytelling onstage. 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)

"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)
