Biography

Tori has always spent most of her life on the road. Since the age of 18 she has played over 150 concerts each year and has released 7 albums, as well as various singles and EPs, on her own record label, Glass Mountain Records. Her last three albums have been collaborations with Barcelona-based flamenco fusion trio Calamento and electric guitarist El Rubio. Their unusual mix of blues, rock, and flamenco sung in both English and Spanish started out as a side project, but quickly grew to be an international success, called "adventurous, pushing the envelope" (Rolling Stone Spain), and “pure art” (Los Conciertos de Radio3). “A flawless live album… an extraordinary fusion of styles,” said La Vanguardia in its review of their live double album, Wait No More (Glass Mountain Records, 2019). Their latest release is the 5-song video EP, El Mar Electric (Live) (Glass Mountain Records, 2022), released in tandem with a limited-edition blue vinyl version of the album ‘El Mar,’ in celebration of Tori’s 10th anniversary in Barcelona. In between tours, Tori and the band are currently preparing material for their third album, slated to be released in late 2023. In the meantime, listen for their song "Tall Towers" on the soundtrack of the first season of Netflix series Sky Rojo. Tori Sparks is also known for giving back to the community through music, regularly organizing and performing at benefit concerts and events.
