 SIDE OF HUMOR INCLUDED
“We’re a group of friends who came together and had a creative explosion,” says Tylan Greenstein of the folk-pop trio Girlyman. Greenstein, Nate Borofsky and Doris Muramatsu share songwriting duties and trade lead vocals while playing an array of instruments including acoustic guitar, banjo, djembe drum, mandolin and baritone guitar. With Joyful Sign, the band’s third release, Girlyman set out to capture its live energy. “It was intentionally recorded in less than a week to get really raw performances,” says Greenstein. Onstage, they deliver gorgeous harmonies and their own brand of humor. Performances often include comedic covers, such as Chip Taylor’s “Wild Thing” sung backwards or “Rock Me Amadeus” (Falco) in German. Between songs there’s an endearing banter among the three friends who have shared living quarters, as well as the stage, for six years. Says Greenstein, “That’s really how we are in our everyday lives. We’re cracking each other up all the time.” www.girlyman.com
