“TORI Sparks is an ADVENTURER” -ROLLING STONE

Thanks for a year of spectacular shows! From open air festivals to vermuts musicales to blues concert cycles, nearly every show was sold out. We couldn’t have done it without you. This fall has been wonderful and intense, jam-packed with concerts and interviews, as well as vocal production sessions for artists ranging from rumba to electronica. It was the home stretch of a year that was anything but easy, but was infinitely rewarding.

As you probably remember, 2024 started out with Tori returning to the stage after 9 months of vocal rehab and severe health issues. The rest of the year was a tough uphill climb, but it was worth it! After finally getting back on the road, Tori’s voice was stronger than ever, and her performances more powerful, more personal, and more connected to the audience than any of her fans had seen her before.

The rest of the year brought great things, including collaborations with other talented artists (BigBlack Rhino, others) opportunities for advocacy, the chance to start working with Vrec Booking in Italy, and much more. (Photos of all of the above are on Tori’s Facebook and Instagram, of course.) Thanks to everyone for making 2024 an incredible year after all!

Special thanks, as always, to our photographers, sound and lighting technicians, designers, stylists, journalists, publicists, bodyguards both official and unofficial, and all the behind-the-scenes crew.

After that, Tori and the band spent most of 2024 touring behind not one, but two separate live shows: El Mar Electric and Roots Music Revival.

Two projects at once? Why not? They debuted the project El Mar Electric along with a live EP of the same name in 2023; she and the band took the blues, rock, and flamenco fusion show on the road in tours in Germany, Spain, and Morocco, before their travels were cut short by the unexpected injury to her vocal cords, compounded by COVID. As a result, Tori — who can usually play through anything — lost her voice completely, and had to go through nine months of vocal rehabilitation before finally returning to the stage in March 2024, when she came back stronger than ever.

This past spring, Tori and the band presented their second, separate project: Roots Music Revival. The repertoire draws on tunes from Tori’s first four albums from her Nashville and Chicago days, and reflects a return to her musical beginnings. This is a musical “revival” to be sure, in the sense that the style of music is pure Americana, but it's also a personal revival as Tori remembers and pays tribute to her musical beginnings. These high-energy concerts show off a different side of the band, whose roots and blues sensibilities run deep.

Now, they’re currently preparing for their next studio album release in Fall 2025. Stay tuned for details.
