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.
