Sirsy (stylized as SIRSY) is an American rock duo from Albany, New York consisting of husband and wife Melanie Krahmer (vocals, drums, flute) and Rich Libutti (guitar, bass). During their live shows, Krahmer also plays bass on a keyboard with her drumstick and Libutti plays bass pedals with his feet.[1]
In addition to touring the East Coast of the United States, Sirsy has been the opening act for artists including Grace Potter and the Nocturnals, Maroon 5, Blues Traveler, Collective Soul, Cheap Trick, Vertical Horizon, Lifehouse, Undercover and Fuel.
The name Sirsy came from a childhood nickname of Krahmer, whose younger sister couldn't pronounce "sister."[2]
