Alicia Witt brings her Los Angeles album release show to The Mint LA, highlighting Between Heaven and Earth, a profoundly personal new collection released via Thirty Tigers. Cut live in New York with producer Joe Henry and an ensemble gathered solely for these sessions, the music sits between the transcendent and the intimately felt, shaped by Witt’s long relationship to the work and memory of David Lynch that reaches back to her early role in Dune. Across the record she explores connection, gratitude, healing, surrender, nostalgia, fate, and longing through a steady optimism and a belief in love that endures without conditions. Made in four days with singers and players recorded together and very few overdubs, the performances lean into instinct and chemistry. Witt describes reaching a creative state through Transcendental Meditation, prayer, and the flow of the studio, allowing songs to arrive in the moment. The title track traces a mystical spark with someone new and the faith to dream. Artifacts lets go of old lessons and relearns how to love. Kindred imagines barriers dissolving in light and destiny. Build Me A Dream looks at creating the reality we want and recognizing an eternal bond. Freeze Frame, Test Drive, and Blue Moon consider alternate paths, memory, and the calm that comes with accepting connections that do not last. Thank You, featuring John Paul White, reframes heartbreak as appreciation for what it made possible. Love Anyway centers on offering care even when it is not returned. The Director closes the album as a bonus track, framed as a direct conversation with Lynch and captured in a single uninterrupted take that surfaced during a lunch break on the final day in the studio. Known for work across film, television, and stage, Witt is also a classically trained pianist who supported herself as a musician after moving to Los Angeles. Her catalog includes Revisionary History, The Conduit, and I Think I’m Spending Christmas With You, with Between Heaven and Earth marking the next chapter in that journey.

Mama’s Broke, the Canadian duo of Amy Lou Keeler and Lisa Maria, brings a border-crossing folk sound shaped by years on the move. Their 12-song album Reunion, released by Free Dirt Records and Forward Music Group, grows from long stretches of street performance, traveling light, and drawing from deep-rooted traditions across Eastern Canada, Appalachia, Ireland, and beyond. The pair first connected within a global web of musicians who shared songs as a way to get by, refining close harmonies and a repertoire strong enough to captivate passersby for hours at a time. Building on a Canadian Folk Music Award for Ensemble of the Year for their debut Count the Wicked and a JUNO-nominated follow-up, Narrow Line, the new record looks at a world under strain, reflecting on frayed connections and fading trust without preaching. Tracked in Goodlettsville, Tennessee, it features understated touches from bassist Paul Kowert and others that add color while keeping the focus on the duo’s acoustic core. At heart it is still two interlaced voices, both delicate and enduring, asking what lasts when place matters less than what is made together. The duo is touring the new album.
