Wikipedia:

Girlyman is an American folk-rock band formerly based in Brooklyn, New York City, New York, now based in Atlanta, Georgia.

Their 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. Their folk-rock musical style is heavy on close harmony. Girlyman describes their musical style as "harmony-driven gender pop" and "leading edge three-part harmony folk-pop," and enjoys a strong following in the gay community.

Before the original three came together as Girlyman, Nate was an award-winning singer-songwriter, and Doris and Ty (best friends since second grade in Princeton Junction, NJ) were the award-winning duo The Garden Verge.

Jones has been the drummer for Po' Girl, a band that has toured with Girlyman frequently. She is a fully integrated band member, writing songs and handling the band's social media connections. She and Doris are romantically involved. 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."
