Straight out of Brooklyn, the trio Girlyman bucks the New York cognoscenti music scene, projecting an acoustic vibe, light percussion and easily meshing vocals.
The Atlanta-based triumvirate is making a stop Wednesday at Reno’s Studio on 4th to pimp their latest album, “Everything’s Easy,” on their eponymous label. The band is playing at 9 p.m. and doors open at 8.
Tickets are $12 at the door. The group—guitarist/vocalist Nate Borofsky, drummer/ vocalist Tylan Greenstein and guitarist/vocalist Doris Muramatsu—have built a reputation for tight vocal harmonies gliding amid modern folk rock.
And although they count The Mamas & The Papas and Simon & Garfunkle among their influences, this is not your father’s rock. Rather, it is a meld of disparate sonic influences. According to their biography, the band has been collaborating with comedian Margaret Cho, co-writing songs for her upcoming album, “Guitarded.”
Of Girlyman, Cho says, “They seamlessly blend folk, country, pop and rock, and they genre bend as fearlessly and flawlessly as they genderbend.” Muramatsu usually leads the way into the songs, but Greenstein and Borofsky drop in smoothly with no voice out of place in the three-part harmony.
