Alicia Witt comes to the Blue Door to get you in the holiday spirit with a festive evening of Christmas music.
A classically trained, award winning pianist and Billboard Top 30 charting singer-songwriter, Alicia's full length Christmas album, "I Think I'm Spending Christmas With You," came out in 2024. Featuring nine heartfelt and uplifting originals and three holiday standards, Witt is delighted to bring her 2nd holiday tour to Beacon. She is also familiar to Christmas movie fans for her ten holiday movies, including 8 on Hallmark Channel - many of which include her other original Christmas songs.
Witt starred in last summer's smash hit movie "Longlegs," opposite Nicolas Cage. Her four-decade career as an actor began at age 7 with David Lynch's classic "Dune" (1984) and has included such films as "Two Weeks Notice," "Mr Holland;s Opus,: "Urban Legend," "Last Holiday," and "88 Minutes," and TV including "Twin Peaks," "Orange is the New Black," "The Walking Dead," "Law and Order," "The Sopranos," and "Cybill," to name a few.
Alicia began her career as a professional musician by playing background piano at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel in the early 1990s. The Nashville Scene said of her 2015 album "Revisionary History": "Witt's new album 'Revisionary History' is a piano-pop gem that sounds by turns like Grey Seal era Elton John, an alt-universe Fiona Apple and a film-noir chanteuse notching her nights in cigarette burns on the fallboard."
