The Boston Globe sums it up\, “Little band . Big Sound.” Although the only thing “little” about Sirsy is that t here’s just two of them. The rest is bigger than a T-Rex. Close your eye s and listen to the power and heart in their music and you’ll swear ther e’s more than two people on stage. It’s crank up the volume\, sing alo ng at the top of your lungs music — even when the ballads kick in. Plus\ , “Their clever\, smart songs have more hooks than a tacklebox.” (Time s Union).\n\nSIRSY is fronted by powerhouse vocalist Melanie (Mel) Krahmer \, who is described as “one of the most powerful &\; flexible voices you’ll ever hear.” (Times Union). Aftertaste Magazine said\, “Bursti ng and belting out emotion and substance\, she can be the queen of ‘in t he groove’ rocking or be simple and delicate.” Still\, there is more t o Mel than her soul-inspired vocals: she also plays a full drum kit while standing up (she’s been featured in Modern Drummer Magazine and is offic ially endorsed by Paiste Cymbals and Vater Percussion). At their live show s\, Mel also plays bass parts with a drum stick (on a keyboard mounted on her drums). She even throws in an occasional flute solo\, too.\n\nGuitaris t Rich Libutti plays a well-loved and road-worn Rickenbacker through a ped al board full of vintage effects. “The guitar player is flawless and raw . Clean enough to be enjoyed\, and just edgy enough to make you grin.” ( SXSW Music Blog\, Austin TX). Live\, Rich also plays bass on a keyboard wi th his feet.\n\nOfficial website  – Facebook  – Youtube – Twitter – Instagram\n\nAnnalyse &\; Ryan are an Americana duo based in Beacon \, NY.
