Jeff will be touring with the most recent band line-up comprising; Jorge Salán (Guitar), Fernando Mainer (Bass), ‘BJ’ (Guitar/Keys and vocals) and Edu Cominato (Drums/Vocals) and will be showcasing his current solo album; ‘Damage Control’ as well as tracks from across his solo and front-man roles right across his outstanding career.

Also, Frontiers Records has officially issued the third and final video from the Damage Control album, ‘NeverEnding War’. The song was written by JSS and Joel Hoekstra (Night Ranger) and also features Jeff’s son Jason and stepdaughter Grace within the contents of the video.

To add to the excitement of this particular tour, the majority of dates will be supported by non other than his guitarist Jorge Salan’s solo trio as well as an exciting new band from Athens, Greece called Danger Angel!

Soto recorded vocals to one of Salán’s songs on the Chronicles Of An Evolution album back in 2007, which is what led to bringing him into JSS’s band, and Jorge’s newest album, Sexto Asalto (Sixth Assault) will be available along with his other releases at each show. To watch the latest video/single ‘Cero 16’, visit www.jorgesalan.com.

Danger Angel came to Jeff’s attention back in 2009 when he was asked to participate on a track for their 2010 debut album. The band parted ways with their vocalist and brought in a more prominent vocalist named ‘MT’ to help them find a new direction and focus, recruiting Soto to produce their follow up album, Revolutia, of which Jeff was “beyond proud to be a part”. Jeff also sings most of the backing vocals on the album as well as sharing some lead vocals on the single ‘When I’m Gone’. Visit www.dangerangelband.com for more details about this upcoming new band.

It is with great pride that Jeff is ‘presenting’ these two acts as a sort of ‘Soto-palooza’ roadshow in which he implores: “EVERYONE to be on time for a great night of music and many surprises throughout the show, it will be an evening of great rock ‘n roll, fun and memories so get there at the time the venues say to get there!!”
