Girlyman
American folk-rock band
Girlyman is an American folk-rock band first based in Brooklyn, New York City, New York, and later based in Atlanta, Georgia. Its 2003 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.
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.
In early 2026, Girlyman announced that the three founding members (Greenstein, Muramatsu, and Borofsky) had reunited and launched the Girlyman Community on Patreon.

Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 14, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q5564724. VIAF identifies the subject as 145790427. The Library of Congress control number is no2006117257. 1 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank.

A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
