LA’s Mini Trees brings an evening of indie and alt-pop to The Wise Hall this September with support from Coral Grief!
Mini Trees
Mini Trees is the solo project of LA-based songwriter Lexi Vega, whose intimate blend of indie and alt pop explores the tension between self-doubt and persistence. Her recent album ‘Slow It Down’ unravels cycles of disappointment and growth, emotional loops that echo in both personal relationships and her journey through the music industry.
On “Spinning,” Vega captures the quiet dread of chasing something uncertain, singing, “still getting older while I’m going nowhere”, a line that distills the fear of running out of time without anything to show for it. “Close” flips the lens outward, turning frustration into clarity as she confronts an industry that repeatedly says, “you almost would’ve made it.” And on “Hollow,” she reflects on being the one who pulls away, tracing the aftermath of emotional unavailability with unflinching honesty.
Mini Trees’s 2025 headline tour saw sellout shows across the US including LA, San Francisco, Chicago, DC, NYC, Boston, and more. In the past, she has supported Julien Baker, Death Cab For Cutie, Yumi Zouma, Hovvdy, Jay Som, and others.
With plans to release the deluxe version of ‘Slow It Down’ in 2026 and extensive touring to coincide, Mini Trees continues to carve out space on her own terms, creating music that lives in the in-between, where doubt and devotion quietly coexist.
Coral Grief

Seattle’s Coral Grief approaches dream pop with an original sense of momentum and imagination. The trio’s first full length, Air Between Us, is steeped in melodic textures and powerful rhythms, with dynamic songs that bounce between krautrock and 90s indie. Both an ode and a eulogy to the Seattle area, Farr-Morrissey grapples with how her hometown has mutated, not into something better or worse necessarily, just different. The recordings capture the band’s exuberant & spirited live energy, which is balanced with thoughtful and layered production. Across these songs, Coral Grief takes you on a journey. Everything is ready to reveal itself–all you have to do is know where to look.
