Recorded live in New York City with producer Joe Henry and a band assembled specifically for the project, the album exists in a space suspended between transcendence and intimacy, channeling what Witt describes as \u201ceternal unconditional love\u201d and \u201cthe place suspended between heaven and earth.\u201d\n\nThe album was profoundly shaped by the influence and memory of David Lynch, whose impact on Witt stretches back to her first film role as Alia in Dune at age seven. \u201cI can\u2019t imagine who I would be without David Lynch,\u201d Witt reflects. \u201cHe is weaved throughout the fabric of my life.\u201d Throughout Between Heaven and Earth, Witt explores what she learned from Lynch \u201cregarding love. The eternal nature of it, the idea that only love is real.\u201d She describes his presence as palpable throughout the making of the record: \u201cDavid was with us every day in the studio. All six of us in the band felt his presence.\u201d\n\nWhile widely recognized for her acclaimed acting career spanning film, television, and stage, music has remained a constant throughline in Witt\u2019s life. A classically trained pianist who supported herself as a musician when she first moved to Los Angeles, Witt has long integrated music into her creative identity, both through her own songwriting and in many of the roles she has portrayed onscreen. She's released multiple full-length albums, including Revisionary History (2015), The Conduit (2021), and I Think I'm Spending Christmas With You (2024). Between Heaven and Earth represents the latest chapter in that ongoing musical journey.\n\nFor Witt, Between Heaven and Earth is ultimately about connection \u2014 to spirit, to memory, to other people, and to something larger than ourselves. \u201cToo often, it seems to me, people imagine love in a vacuum,\u201d she explains. \u201cI know love to be eternal and unconditional.\u201d The result is an album rooted not in bitterness or regret, but in surrender, gratitude, wonder, and the belief that \u201conly love can change minds and hearts.\u201d\n\n\u201cWhat all of these songs have in common is that there is no bitterness, no angst, no revenge, nothing resembling hatred or regret,\u201d Witt says. \u201cThis is my offering. May it bring you exactly where you need it to bring you.\u201d\n\nALICIA WITT MEET & GREET VIP RECEPTION\n\nPackage includes:\nOne GA ticket to the show\nPre-show Meet & Greet with Alicia\nAutographs (Bring your own, or purchase items at the Merch table)", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"148624-21904540@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/148624", "building_id":"", "building_name":"", "campus_maps_id":"", "room":"", "location_name":"ARK Reserved", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"See Site For Pricing Information", "tags":["Ark","Art","Mutotix"], "website":"https:\/\/mutotix.umich.edu\/6718\/6719", "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"Michigan Union Ticket Office (MUTO)", "group_id":"1053", "website":"" } ], "image_url":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/attachments\/2026\/06\/event_148624_original-1.jpg", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/06\/event_148624_original-1.jpg", "event_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/06\/event_148624_original-1.jpg", "event_large_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_large_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/06\/event_148624_original-1.jpg", "event_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2026\/06\/event_148624_original-1.jpg", "group_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/06\/event_148624_original-1.jpg", "group_thumb_square":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_thumb_square\/media\/attachments\/2026\/06\/event_148624_original-1.jpg", "group_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/06\/event_148624_original-1.jpg", "group_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2026\/06\/event_148624_original-1.jpg", "event_large_crop":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_large_crop\/media\/attachments\/2026\/06\/event_148624_original-1.jpg", "event_list":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_list\/media\/attachments\/2026\/06\/event_148624_original-1.jpg", "event_list_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/06\/event_148624_original-1.jpg", "event_grid":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_grid\/media\/attachments\/2026\/06\/event_148624_original-1.jpg", "event_grid_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_grid_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/06\/event_148624_original-1.jpg", "event_feature_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_feature_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/06\/event_148624_original-1.jpg", "event_feature_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_feature_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/06\/event_148624_original-1.jpg" }, "occurrence_count":1, "first_occurrence":21904540 } }
