Harmonies. If you had to describe the music of Girlyman in one word, this would be it. The story doesn't end there, of course: the band blends modern acoustic, Americana, and folk-rock into a musical recipe The Village Voice has called "really good, really unexpected, and really different." The group’s wide range of instruments reflects an eclectic sound, and the band members switch off lead vocals and songwriting duties. But it’s the stunning three-part vocal blend that creates the Girlyman magic.
The trio of Nate Borofsky, Doris Muramatsu, and Ty Greenstein hails from Atlanta, though they formed the band while sharing an apartment in Brooklyn.
And the name? Muramatsu says, "It's great for us, provocative and playful. It makes people laugh. But it also hints at how we've never quite fit in. The name Girlyman lets us acknowledge that we're out of the mainstream, but without taking ourselves too seriously."

As the daughter of Loudon Wainwright III and Suzzy Roche (of The Roches), perhaps music was in Lucy Wainwright Roche’s blood. When half-brother Rufus Wainwright invited Lucy to sing backup on his tour, she changed her focus from her career as an elementary school teacher to fulfill her destiny as a songwriter and performer.
Since then, she has made her own mark as a Falcon Ridge Emerging Artist winner in 2008 and Kerrville Folk Festival New Folk winner in 2009.
