Alicia Witt will bring her new EP Witness to Canada this spring as part of her upcoming tour, the singer-songwriter, pianist and actress has announced.
Witt’s run of live performances begins March 21 with a show at Hugh’s Room in Toronto, then heads south of the border for a trio of concerts in Ann Arbor, Boston and Seattle. See below for more details.
Witness, released last summer, is a six-song collection that cementd her triple-threat status as a world-class vocalist, clever tunesmith and competition-winning piano prodigy. Her 2021 album The Conduit yielded the hit Chasing Shadows, which spent five weeks in the Top 30 of the Billboard AC Radio chart — a milestone in a career that’s included several well-received EPs and full-length releases that have showcased her creative vision while making room for production help from heavy hitters like Ben Folds. And that’s not to mention a performance schedule that’s taken Witt everywhere from The Grand Ole Opry to The Masked Singer.
But if you watch the suitably intimate and emotional video for Witness above and can’t shake the feeling you’ve seen her somewhere else, the possibilities are legion. As an actor, Witt has been working steadily since the age of 7, when David Lynch cast her in his adaptation of Frank Herbert’s Dune. She’s since appeared on Lynch’s Twin Peaks (both iterations) while racking up a list of industry credits that’s the definition of “voluminous.” She was Cybill Shepherd’s TV daughter for four seasons, and other programs she’s appeared on run the gamut from The Sopranos to The Walking Dead to Justified.
On the big screen, she’s been in high-profile releases like Two Weeks’ Notice, Last Holiday and Mr. Holland’s Opus; her latest, the Nicolas Cage thriller Longlegs, hits theaters this July. Among her stage work was the lead in Neil LaBute’s Reasons To Be Pretty. In addition, she’s been a familiar face in Christmas movies, often performing her songs in a case of artistic synergy. Oh, and did we mention she’s the author of Small Changes, a guide to sustainable living and diet? Forget triple threat; we’re up to six or seven now.
But at this particular moment, it’s all about the music, and giving back to the fans who have made her a cross-media sensation. The apparently tireless Witt has livestreams and concert performances booked through June in the U.S. and Canada, along with meet-and-greets that’ll put her in direct contact with the fervent and wide-ranging fanbase she owes so much.
