Just a typical day off at the Grand Canyon. Well, true to form, we had a blast on our west coast tour last month, playing delightfully fun CD Release shows with our friend AG, plus special guests Ingrid and Michael of Coyote Grace. In our efforts to experience life as fully as possible, we even visited the Grand Canyon in our spare time! (For another example of What We Do On … Continue reading →

Girlyman with manager Genevieve Barber (in yellow). Hello to friends and fans of Girlyman! I wanted to write and let you know that, after ten marvelous years, I’m moving on as manager of the band. It’s been such an adventure. None of us knew what we were doing when it all started. We just realized there was something special in this music, and it was worth taking some risks … Continue reading →

Happy new year, everyone! Well, we may be Girlyman, but don’t let anyone tell you we’re puny. After all, what other band would leave the sunny southeast for frigid NEBRASKA in the dead of January? That’s just the way we roll, people. And not just Nebraska, but Kansas and Oklahoma too. And NEBRASKA, did we mention that? Then, as if that weren’t enough, we’ll be heading to the frigid Midwest in February. You know, KY, MO, IN, MI, IL, WI, … Continue reading →

I’m out on Fire Island right now, getting a little R & R before our next round of shows and thinking about the fact that when I get home in a couple weeks, it’ll be time to start recording our new CD. The dates are already highlighted on our internal band calendar, lighting every August day up in red. “Recording!” each day screams, as though there’s an emergency. My inner state might echo this tone just a little. There’s something … Continue reading →

I finally found this picture from August 9, 1974! See “Easy Bake Ovens” for the reference. I showed it to my dad, who said, “You found it! I wanted to take a picture of you with a reference, so you’d know exactly when it was taken.” Good old Dad and his archivist tendencies. Some people write these things on the back of pictures with ball point pens, Dad.
