Colleen Green announces U.S. tour with Upset

Colleen Green announces tour with upset. Colleen Green's new album 'I Want To Grow up'

After releasing her new LP I Want to Grow Up,  Colleen Green will head out on tour with Los Angeles band Upset. They will be heading through the American South, East Coast, Midwest, and finally winding it down on the West Coast in Los Angeles.

Green’s latest collection of songs follows the singer/songwriter as she carefully navigates a minefield of emotion. Her firm belief in true love is challenged by the inner turmoil caused by entering modern adulthood, but that doesn’t mean that her faith is defeated. With a nod to her heroes, sentimental SoCal punks The Descendents, Green too wonders what it will be like when she gets old. Throughout songs such as “Some People,” “Deeper Than Love,” and the illustrative title track, the listener has no choice but to feel the sympathetic growing pains of revelatory maturation and the anxieties that come along with it.

Sonically the album is a major change for the LA-based songwriter, who has come to be known for her homemade recordings and merchandise. Her past offerings have been purely Green; testaments to her self-sufficiency and, perhaps, trepidation. This time, she’s got a little help from her friends: the full band heard here includes JEFF the Brotherhood’s Jake Orrall and Diarrhea Planet’s Casey Weissbuch, who collaborated with Green over ten days at Sputnik Sound in Nashville, TN.
