Album Notes

SIRSY is fronted by the charismatic Melanie Krahmer with a "stunning voice capable of a lion's roar and a floaty whisper"... a girl "with the lungs of a teenage athlete and the growl of a sixty-something blues singer"... a girl who "plays Ian Anderson-esque flute solos", and "drums like a rockstar-- standing up, no less!". Krahmer shares the stage with cowriter, Rich Libutti, a "dynamo on both bass and guitar" with a "stage wit and explosive energy all his own". Libutti even plays the snare with his feet during Krahmer's flute solos so the drums never stop! It's a must-see!!

"Errrr... wow! I mean WOW! While their music is radio friendly, and their looks are eye-friendly, the material is actually REALLY good. Like pop songs used to be before MTV". (—— Indie Sounds NY, NYC/2005).

"Melanie Krahmer can sing, scream, blow flute, drum, and tease, and she does all these REALLY well. If you like live bands that rock, go see sirsy - they are usually playing somewhere every night and they won't let you down."
(—— The Village Voice, NYC/2005).

Since SIRSY's incarnation in the spring of 2000, they have accrued an enormous list of accomplishments that would seem impossible for an unsigned band. Playing over 250 shows per year, they've shared the stage with Maroon5, Collective Soul, Lifehouse, Cheap Trick, Blues Traveler, and more! Hailed by the Boston Globe, New York City's Village Voice, and countless others, SIRSY is said to "stir the soul even more when you see them live than on their critically acclaimed recordings". Perhaps this explains their large and devoted cult following...

This IS their day job. Yes, that means they're broke, but it also means they're hungry and passionate and ALWAYS working at their craft. You won't find a more devoted band...
