With influences that range from Merle Haggard to Al Green, Willie’s music is as familiar as it is fresh. An accomplished multi-instrumentalist, vocalist and songwriter, Willie is currently touring with Great Southern Reunion presented by Dickey Betts, where he shares the guitar duties with the legendary Lee Roy Parnell.

Aggressively dry-hopped with Citra, Columbus, and Falconers Flight hops, this beer displays subtle bitterness, balanced malt sweetness, and haze that will surely satisfy.

SIRSY
The Boston Globe call SIRSY “the little band with the big sound.” SXSW Music Blog says “SIRSY is NOT simply a two piece, the sound they make is a head scratching, WOW!” SIRSY is fronted by charismatic vocalist/ drummer Melanie Krahmer who has “one of the most powerful and flexible voices you’ll ever hear.” (–Times Union) At live shows, Mel also plays bass on a keyboard with her drumstick & throws in a few mean flute solos too. Guitarist, and Mel’s 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. It’s clear they love what they do. And that love is contagious when you see them live. You can’t help smiling along with them. Their energetic show often includes stories from the road, laughter, dance parties, and even Rich’s nerdy Star Wars jokes.
