“Soaring harmonies, social consciousness, and impressive musical prowess…Girlyman’s bittersweet approach to the human condition will strike a chord regardless of the listener.”– San Francisco Chronicle
“In the field of pop group vocals, Girlyman is in the rarest of company…a luxurious sonic bubble bath for the ears.”– Vermont Guardian
After spending the last six years living, cooking meals, writing songs, and even attending therapy together in a cramped New York City apartment, the members of Girlyman are ready to make a change. Perhaps the title track off their new CD, Joyful Sign, says it best: Sometimes leaving is a joyful sign/Like a little child singing, “This little light of mine, gonna let it shine.”
Co-produced with Bob Harris, Joyful Sign features the band’s folk/pop/bluegrass sound but with a sense of confi dence, energy and spirit that the trio has become known for live. The album is a showcase for memorable, well-crafted songs, graced by the group’s signature three-part harmonies. And after six years of living, playing and touring together, the chemistry between Doris, Ty, and Nate has never been more evident. The members of Girlyman, all classically trained, trade off songwriting duties and a slew of instruments including acoustic guitar, banjo, baritone guitar, djembe and mandolin.
Since touring with the Indigo Girls, Girlyman has become a national headlining act in its own right, selling out major folk venues across the country, playing on internationally syndicated radio shows, and earning the kind of loyal following that no record label can manufacture.
