Including beloved hits such as "The Nearness of You," "Stop This Train," and "Children Will Listen," Growing Up explores what it means to reconnect to your past and uncover its difficult yet hopeful complexities, leading to perhaps the most vital growth yet.

Join Mia as she sings through the album live, taking you through the process of its creation through an intimate night of story and song.
