Girlyman

Can the members of Girlyman read each other's minds? Sometimes it seems so. Onstage they often finish each other's sentences or burst into improvised three-part ditties so tight they seem rehearsed. Truth is, the Atlanta-based trio has had years to develop this rapport. They came together as a band in 2001 in Brooklyn, influenced by 60s vocal groups like Simon & Garfunkel and The Mamas and the Papas, and infused with years of classical and jazz training. Girlyman's songs are a dance of melody and suspensions - an irresistible blend of acoustic, Americana, and rock. "Everything's Easy," Girlyman's fourth studio album, is the band's most intimate and sophisticated effort.
