Sirsy is an indie pop-rock duo who’s passionate performances are full of folk intimacy, lots of heart, soul, and sass. Hailing from Upstate, NY, they play more than 200 shows per year all over the US. Sirsy is fronted by singer-songwriter Melanie Krahmer (who also plays drums, keys, flute and melodica). Mel’s incredible voice is “one of the most powerful and flexible voices you’ll ever hear” (Times Union). Mel’s bandmate, husband, co-writer, & bestie is Rich Libutti. Rich masterfully plays guitar and bass and delivers his fair share of nerdy jokes. “Their clever smart songs have more hooks than a tackle box” (Times Union) with lyrics about empowerment and resilience. Sirsy’s fans have supported the duo through all of life’s ups and downs: the pandemic, their 11 records, and Mel’s 2 bouts with cancer. So, every show is 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, Patty Smyth, Lifehouse, Spindoctors, Blues Traveler, and many more. Their songs have been featured on HBO, PBS, MTV, and on Showtime’s hit TV show “Shameless”. Their last few 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.
