QuarenTEA with Tori Kelly
The Grammy acclaimed singer-songwriter Tori Kelly is hosting live acoustic sessions from her home via Instagram Live. Unfortunately, due to COVID-19 she isn’t able to hit the road on tour so she’s giving us a concert live streamed from her home. Her QuaranTEA with Tori sessions have her belting out her hit singles and fans’ song requests, it also features special musical guests such as JoJo, Alessia Cara, Jordin Sparks and Jessie J.
My personal favourite way to listen to her live stream is with a cup of green tea sitting by the window journalling to momentarily escape from the pandemic madness. Highly recommend!
Tune in live Sunday to Friday on Tori’s Instagram here
