she’s green is a Minneapolis-based five-piece composed of vocalist Zofia Smith, guitarists Liam Armstrong and Raines Lucas, bassist Teddy Nordvold, and drummer Kevin Seebeck. The band took the stage last week at the Bluebird Theater, opening for Slow Pulp on their fall tour.

Fresh off the release of their newest EP, Chrysalis, she’s green were visibly excited to perform these songs live—and the crowd was just as eager to receive them. Each track embodied longing, wistfulness, and hazy introspection, blending moments of dreamy euphoria with raw emotional vulnerability. Even though many in the audience didn’t yet know the lyrics, the energy in the room showed that everyone was enjoying the show.

she’s green delivers music that feels both vulnerable and powerful, channeling raw emotion into their sound. Their style blends elements of dream pop and shoegaze, but they shape it into something distinctly their own. The authenticity doesn’t just come through in their lyrics, it radiates from their stage presence as well.

One of my favorite songs they performed was “smile again.” It felt like a nostalgic springtime evening, the kind where the air is warm and golden light filters through everything. Lyrics like “I’m dreaming of the water rushing through my veins / Only time will tell when you’ll smile again” transported me to a quiet, reflective moment—part wistful daydream, part hopeful longing. And this feeling didn’t end there; another standout, “Graze,” carried a similar emotional weight, with its dreamy melodies and introspective lyrics drawing the audience into the same tender, immersive atmosphere. Together, these songs showcased She’s Green’s ability to craft music that feels both intimate and expansive, leaving a lingering sense of warmth long after the performance ended.

It’s easy to see why Slow Pulp chose she’s green as an opener for their fall tour. The band holds immense promise, not just because of their technical skill and captivating sound, but because of the way they connect with an audience on a deep emotional level. Their music resonates with listeners, drawing them into a world that feels both intimate and expansive at the same time. This ability to bridge vulnerability and energy makes she’s green a natural complement to Slow Pulp’s sound, appealing to fans who appreciate thoughtful lyrics, textured instrumentation, and immersive live performances. Watching them perform, it’s clear that they have the potential to cultivate a following that grows in both size and devotion, and that they could soon reach the same audience as Slow Pulp, carving out a unique place for themselves in the indie music scene.

Before closing out their set, the band used their platform to make their values clear, declaring “trans rights are human rights” and “free Palestine.” The crowd erupted in support, underscoring how even as a smaller band, She’s Green is unafraid to stand by their identity and convictions—something that feels core to who they are.

If you’re a fan of bands like Alvvays, Men I Trust, or even the classic dreaminess of Cocteau Twins, and want to get ahead of the inevitable hype, I highly recommend checking out she’s green. With Chrysalis as one of their first offering, they’re blossoming into a band you won’t want to miss.
