“The way Sparks tells a story through a song, and even manages in a mere four minutes to bring the listener from a smile to a tear and bring back, is phenomenal. Let nothing stop you from listening to Tori Sparks.” (Freddy Celis, 'Rootstime' Belgium). American singer-songwriter Tori Sparks walks the line between downright soulful and drop-dead hilarious in her dynamic live performances. She is constantly on the road, playing 200 shows every year in the US, Canada, and Europe. Her new album 'The Scorpion in the Story' went to #19 on the Euro Americana Chart, and features world-renowned players such as Will Kimbrough, Viktor Krauss, and Fats Kaplin. She will be appearing at Art Base for one night only in an unplugged format for an intimate acoustic set.
