SOTO Signs With INSIDEOUT MUSIC

SOTO, the modern heavy metal / hard rock group featuring vocalist Jeff Scott Soto (YNGWIE MALMSTEEN, TALISMAN, JOURNEY, SONS OF APOLLO, TRANS-SIBERIAN ORCHESTRA), has signed a new worldwide deal with InsideOut Music.

Soto commented: “I am proud to have SOTO working with the great InsideOut Music and their partners at Century Media Records and Sony Music. Having seen what we did together with SONS OF APOLLO, I am thrilled to see what we’ll do to further my own vanity band SOTO into the future. It’s a very exciting time in our lives and career.”

Jeff formed SOTO in 2015 as a way to return to his heavier roots. So far they’ve released two albums, “Inside The Vertigo” (2015) and “Divak” (2016), taking a short break while Jeff embarked on the supergroup SONS OF APOLLO, alongside Mike Portnoy, Derek Sherinian, Billy Sheehan and Bumblefoot.

A new SOTO album is currently being worked on and its material will continue to expand and move the band towards new heights while following up with their brand of power rock.

SOTO also recently announced the newest member of the band, bassist Tony Dickinson, who coincidentally also replaced the late David Zablidowsky in the TRANS-SIBERIAN ORCHESTRA. Jeff explains: “It was the one and only natural choice for us after losing our brother David in a horrific accident in 2017. Tony wrote and played on two singles for the first two SOTO albums, ‘The Fall’ and ‘FreakShow’. He is phenomenally talented and a great friend. He’ll fit right in with us and I cannot wait to showcase more of his contributions as we move the band forward.”

SOTO, which is rounded out by Jorge Salan (guitar), Edu Cominato (drums) and BJ (keys/guitar), will be touring throughout 2019 following the release of the still-untitled new album.

SOTO is:

Jeff Scott Soto – Vocals
Jorge Salan – Guitar
Tony Dickinson – Bass

Edu Cominato – Drums
