We’re interviewing Girlyman!

Shelley here. Suzi and I are going to interview Girlyman for Outbeat this Sunday.

They’re performing Friday night at the Freight & Salvage in Berkeley, and Saturday, in a special free show (although you have to have advance tickets) at the Schulz Museum in Santa Rosa.

Be sure to turn and hear our show live, at 8 p.m. Sunday night. Directions for streaming the show are in the link at the right of this post.

I first saw the GirlyFolk open for the Indigo Girls (what is it about this “Girl” theme?).

That night the Indigos seemed tame and boring compared to the Girlys. The trio really seemed to enjoy being with each other and playing off the harmonies and themes presented. Aside from a little nasalness from (I think) Nate, I find Girlyman wonderful and musical, quirky and interesting.

The first song I fell in love with was their cover of George Harrison’s “My Sweet Lord”. I loved how they slowed it down and each took a piece and made it their own. Ty, Doris, and Nate are a treasure together. They work the harmonies like a perfect cappuccino, just the right amount of foamy hot milk and just the perfect design on top. Add a bit of cinnamon and chocolate to peak the flavors and you have Girlyman!

I’m looking forward to speaking to them about touring and spending hour after hour with the same faces. Don’t they get sick of each other? Will they last longer than the Beatles?

Tune in Sunday night for the real deal — their voices, and their songs.
