SIRSY w/ Tommy Feeley
SIRSY brings its soulful, electric folk-rock sound to City Winery Boston with Tommy Feeley. The duo is known for high-energy performances that combine rock drive, pop hooks, folk intimacy, humor, and heartfelt storytelling. Their live shows invite audiences to sing, dance, laugh, and sometimes cry, all in the same evening.
Formed in 2000 in an upstate New York basement studio, SIRSY is the longtime musical and married partnership of Melanie Krahmer and Rich Libutti. Their music emphasizes empowerment and resilience, and the event is presented as a celebration of life shaped by the couple’s more than two decades of touring, numerous records, health challenges, the pandemic, and Rich’s recent recovery from a back injury.
