THE SCOOP

We smile and remember the lyrics from that road trip with our best friend back in 2004, but not what we ate for lunch yesterday. Music is powerful.Now cue the oversharing, unfiltered stand-up comedian.

Raw riffs, Southern soul, and blues bones: the music of Jive Mother Mary is more than a throwback —it’s a natural companion to the legacy of ZZ Top. Last Halloween we had Jive Mother Mary ready to rock your world, Barcelona -- literally. For those of you who never heard: they canceled for the best reason ever: they got booked to open for ZZ Top Autumn of 2025. When ZZ Top hit the stage October 2025, fans expected everything they’ve loved for decades— gnarly guitar tone, Texas

It’s a soothing experience to listen to someone speak with such fluency from the creative otherworld. Tori Sparks strikes an elegant balance between the shaman and the technician. Listening to her talk about music is like a masterclass in the business and practice of the music industry.

Wine Wednesday is the brainchild of two creative forces: Front Page News Barcelona, the event collective known for curating immersive live shows, and Velvet Room BCN, a lush cocktail and jazz lounge that feels like stepping into a 1950s film set. Front Page News brings the musical vision — a three-act journey where artists build the night’s energy from soulful acoustic sets to full-band finales.
