Brooks Nielsen, the charismatic lead singer of surf-psych icons The Growlers, is set to embark on a special journey to celebrate the tenth anniversary of their classic album, "Chinese Fountain." This fall, Nielsen will take fans on a nostalgic trip as he performs the album from start to finish, along with some additional surprises, at 26 very special North American shows.

"Chinese Fountain" marked a significant evolution for The Growlers, showcasing their transition from a psych-circus sound to a more direct and razor-sharp style while still retaining their signature "beach goth" essence. With memorable tracks like "Big Toe," "Going Gets Tough," "Love Test," and the disco-punk infused title track, the album captivated audiences and solidified The Growlers' place in the music scene.

For Nielsen, these anniversary shows are not just about revisiting past glories but also about celebrating his ongoing musical journey. With a dynamic setlist that spans his solo career, including singles like "Tropical Cowboy" and "Chew My Heart Out," as well as tracks from his solo debut album "One Match Left" and subsequent EPs, Nielsen promises an electrifying performance that will keep fans on their feet and craving more.

Accompanied by a talented live band that includes Growlers drummer Richard Gowen, bassist Brogan Dutcher, keyboardist Cole Riddle, and guitarists J.D. Carrera and Elyadeen Anbar, Nielsen blends the spontaneity of improv-driven rock with the energy of punk, delivering a show that is both dynamic and unforgettable.
