Tori Sparks at Festa Major de Gracia
By Charlotte Stace
American singer-songwriter Tori Sparks will take the stage at Plaça del Nord in Gràcia, kicking off the famed Festa Major de Gràcia with a free, open-air “vermut musical” concert.
Originally from Chicago, she’s something of an American pioneer. Launching her own label - Glass Mountain Records - at 18, this eclectic musician has since released seven critically acclaimed albums and is a champion of the DIY model in the music industry. She’s developed her own distinctive blend of American roots and Spanish music during her years spent in Barcelona. A prolific performer (averaging 150 concerts per year) she’s toured the world, captivating audiences along the way.
The Festa Major de Gràcia is a week-long neighbourhood celebration that transforms streets into magical wonderlands with elaborate decorations. There’ll be food, live music and community events, so make sure to add it to your calendar.
