Sirsy (Opener)
Sirsy is an indie pop-rock duo with lots of heart, soul, & sass. Hailing from Upstate NY, Sirsy wows crowds at 250 shows per year all over the US. Sirsy is fronted by singer-songwriter & drummer Melanie Krahmer (who also plays bass on a keyboard with her drumstick). Mel’s bandmate, husband, co-writer, & bestie is Rich Libutti. Rich plays a well-loved and road worn Rickenbacker through a pedal board full of vintage effects (& bass on a pedal board with his feet). These 2 multi-instrumentalists manage to sound like a full band and somehow do it all with big smiles on their faces. Their live shows often include heartfelt stories, dance parties, and nerdy jokes. Sirsy’s fans have supported the duo through the pandemic, their 11 records, and Mel’s 2 bouts with cancer. So, every show is like a celebration for this couple and their fans. Come celebrate life with them! And as always… May the force be with you.
Sirsy has warmed stages for: Maroon 5, Brandi Carlile, Grace Potter, Train, Collective Soul, Cheap Trick, Lifehouse, Spindoctors, Blues Traveler, Patty Smyth and many more. Their songs have been featured on HBO, PBS, MTV, and on Showtime’s hit TV show “Shameless”. Their last several 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!”
