Double Bill: Sirsy and Mrs. Smith & The Present

Get ready for an electric evening of top-tier musicianship and heart, kicking off the night is Sirsy, the acclaimed upstate New York duo celebrated as “the little band with the big sound” (The Boston Globe). Fronted by charismatic multi-instrumentalists Melanie Krahmer and Rich Libutti, Sirsy crafts heartfelt, soulful electric folk-rock with a charming intensity. On stage, the married pair sounds like a full band: Mel commands lead vocals while simultaneously drumming, holding down bass lines on keys, and breaking out flute and melodica, while Rich weaves massive guitar hooks and bass pedals with a road-worn Rickenbacker and vintage effects. Boasting more than two decades on the road—sharing stages with icons like Brandi Carlile, Cheap Trick, and Joan Jett, and landing songs on Showtime's Shameless—their live set is equal parts rock drive, infectious pop melody, and witty storytelling. Packed with songs of resilience and pure joy, it’s an uplifting celebration of life you won't want to miss.

Berwyn’s own premium rock ’n’ roll outfit, Mrs. Smith & The Present, will finish off the night with sharp, driving grooves. An evening sure not to be missed at Friendly.

Suggested donation $10 to support the musicians.
