SIRSY
The Boston Globe call SIRSY โthe little band with the big sound.โ SXSW Music Blog says โSIRSY is NOT simply a two piece, the sound they make is a head scratching, WOW!โ SIRSY is fronted by charismatic vocalist/ drummer Melanie Krahmer who has โone of the most powerful and flexible voices youโll ever hear.โ (โTimes Union) At live shows, Mel also plays bass on a keyboard with her drumstick & throws in a few mean flute solos too. Guitarist, and Melโs husband, Rich Libutti plays a road worn and well-loved Rickenbacker guitar through a pedal board full of vintage effects. Live, Rich also plays bass on a pedalboard with his feet. So, these multi-instrumentalists manage to sound like a full band, despite there being just two of them. And somehow, they do it all with big smiles on their faces. Itโs clear they love what they do. And that love is contagious when you see them live. You canโt help smiling along with them. Their energetic show often includes stories from the road, laughter, dance parties, and even Richโs nerdy Star Wars jokes.

At this yearโs Hardywood Oktoberfest, weโd like to add a new dimension to our โBrew with Purposeโ call to action by expanding our focus beyond supporting those in need in our local community in partnership with Goochland Cares, to also support our neighbors in Western North Carolina to recover from the heart wrenching damage caused by Hurricane Helene.
Through participation in the Pouring for Neighbors initiative in support of Western NC Hurricane Relief, Hardywood will donate $1 per pint of Hardywood Pils served at either of its taproom locations to the North Carolina Disaster Relief Fund (www.nc.gov/donate).
You can also help by dropping off needed supplies, including non-perishable food, packaged water, and cleaning supplies, to the donation bins in front of Hardywood West Creek all Oktoberfest weekend, Friday, 10/4 - Sunday, 10/6.
We will transport these donations to a designated supply pickup point in NC on Monday morning.
