Nate Borofsky, Doris Muramatsu and Ty Greenstein describe their trio, Girlyman, as "a modern-day Peter, Paul & Mary -- only edgier, and with a with quirky sense of humor." With their tight, gorgeous harmonies and great mix of contemporary folk, country rock and buoyant pop, not to mention their infectious ability to have a good time, the Brooklyn-based group has inspired an ever-expanding grassroots following over the past several years. They've also been turning heads at major folk festivals around the U.S. and on tour as the openers for the Indigo Girls and Dar Williams -- heck, they're so well-known Gov. Arnold even used them as a political slur!

Live and on albums like their recent Little Star (Daemon Records), the members of Girlyman switch off songwriting duties, lead vocals, and a range of instruments, including acoustic guitar, djembe, banjo, baritone guitar and mandolin.
