María Zardoya also confirmed that $1 from every ticket sold during the tour will be donated to the Save The Music Foundation.
The nonprofit organization helps fund music and arts education programs in underserved schools throughout the United States.
In a statement, Zardoya explained that music and art played an important role in her own childhood and described the partnership as deeply personal.
She added that supporting access to creative programs for younger generations was one of the main reasons she wanted the tour connected to the organization.
Supporting “Melt” and “Bloom”
The “A Summer in the Forest” tour supports Not for Radio’s debut album Melt, along with the recently released Bloom EP.
The solo project has allowed Zardoya to explore a more intimate and experimental direction compared to her work with The Marías, blending dream-pop, indie, and cinematic influences.
