Summer means ongoing education: If you’re local to Barcelona and are interested in learning more about the current state of the live music scene, the laws that affect it, and possible solutions to current issues, you won’t want to miss the roundtable discussion featuring Tori Sparks, journalist Toni Castarnado, and others on June 13th at Calàbria 66. And on July 14th, Tori will present a brief history of the evolution of American music in a half-concert, half-talk at Can Sisteré in Santa Coloma as a part of the 2023 edition of the Santako School of Rock. The line-up this year features journalists Jordi Bianciotto, Jero Rodríguez, and Albert Crespo, musicians Igor Paskual and The New Raemon, among others.
Life is literary these days! Tori is featured in the new book by Carlos Romagosa, Siete Desconciertos en Londres, (released Sant Jordi’s Day 2023), and was a feartured speaker in the presentation of the new book by journalist Nando Cruz, Macrofestivales: El Agujero Negro de la Música.
And in between concerts, talks, and rehearsals, Tori is also in the studio, working on the production of the upcoming album Undivided Intention by New Orleans-born, Tarragona-based blues singer, Richard White. Release date TBA.
