Girlyman was an American folk-rock band formerly based in Brooklyn, New York City, New York, later based in Atlanta, Georgia. Its self-released debut album, ''Remember Who I Am'', sold 5,000 copies before it was re-released by Daemon Records, the independent record label run by Amy Ray of the Indigo Girls. Girlyman described its musical style as "harmony-driven gender pop" and "leading-edge three-part harmony folk-pop," and enjoyed a strong following in the gay community. In late 2012, Girlyman took a hiatus from touring. Greenstein and Borofsky both began work on solo albums, while Muramatsu, Jones, and Borofsky announced they had formed a new group called Django Jones. Greenstein's album ''One True Thing'' and Borofsky's ''Every Wish'' were released in 2013. On September 11, 2013, Muramatsu announced that Girlyman had officially disbanded. 〔"(Saying Goodbye to Girlyman )."〕 In 2014, Django Jones released the children's album ''D is for Django'', and Greenstein announced a new musical act, Mouths of Babes, with her partner Ingrid Elizabeth. 〔"(Introducing Mouths of Babes )"〕 ==Members== Girlyman had four members: *Tylan "Ty" Greenstein (vocals, guitar, mandolin and percussion) *Doris Muramatsu (vocals, acoustic guitar, mandolin and banjo) *Nathan D. "Nate" Borofsky (vocals, baritone guitar, bass guitar) *JJ Jones (drums). The founding members were Greenstein, Muramatsu and Borofsky. Before they came together, Borofsky was an award-winning singer-songwriter, while Greenstein and Muramatsu (best friends since second grade in Princeton Junction, New Jersey) were the award-winning duo The Garden Verge. Jones was the drummer for Po' Girl, a group that frequently toured with Girlyman, before joining the group on January 3, 2010. According to the Girlyfan email update (signed by the entire group): "JJ Jones is an old friend and a fantastic drummer whom we've crossed paths with many times over the years, and when we finally got to play with her over the past couple months, something just clicked. Our sound got bigger and closer to what we had all imagined it to be for years." Jones and Doris Muramatsu are romantically involved.〔("Girlyman and the pursuit of creative risk" ), Slate.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Girlyman」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
