Sponsored by the Friends of the Coronado Library and Hotel Del Coronado, the Library’s 2024 Summer Festival concerts will take place every other Friday from June 14-August 23. Doors will open 15 minutes prior to each performance.

On Friday, July 26 at 1p.m., Zavala Soul will be performing their unique mix of funky blues with a side of rock music. Nominated for Best Blues Artist for the 2024 San Diego Music Awards, Zavala Soul ‘s rhythmy tunes make for an unforgettable afternoon of music.

Zavala Sol is a five piece Blues/Swing/Southern Rock/Funk band from San Diego, California whose members came together in 2022 and achieved almost instant musical chemistry. In less than six months together, the band released its first album of original music and has been nominated as Best New Artist 2022 by the San Diego Music Awards! In July 2023, the band won the San Diego edition of the International Blues Challenge and represents the city in 2024 competing against bands from across the U.S. and foreign countries as well.

Our primary focus is original music and our covers are always in our unique style. If you love funky blues with some rock thrown in, you’re in the right place! Supporting lead singer, Carrie Zavala, are Mike VanDuyn on lead, rhythm, and slide guitar, Karl Dring on guitar, blues harp and slide guitar, Bill Salisbury on bass, and Jon Price on drums.
