CD versions of the album also include a bonus live album recorded at
Frontiers Rock Festival in 2019, “Live At Frontiers Rock Festival 2019,”
which was released in digital format only this past April.
“Wide Awake (In My Dreamland)” is the seventh official solo album by hard
rock veteran Jeff Scott Soto. The singer, who has more than 85 albums under
his belt as a lead vocalist, along with numerous collaborations and
recordings, has established himself as a consummate professional who manages
to expertly deliver with his vocal performances across multiple musical
genres, from Metal to Hard Rock to Progressive Rock and even Funk. For “Wide
Awake (In My Dreamland)”, Jeff has incorporated many of his past influences
and blends melodic rock/AOR with hard rock influences throughout. The album
was recorded and written together with (and produced by) Alessandro Del
Vecchio (Hardline, Jorn, Revolution Saints, etc).
Soto’s career spans over thirty-five years, beginning as the vocalist for
guitar virtuoso Yngwie Malmsteen in 1984 before fronting bands such as
Talisman, Soul SirkUS, SOTO, Sons of Apollo (featuring Billy Sheehan, Mike
Portnoy, Derek Sherinian and Bumblefoot), as well as an ongoing membership
in Trans-Siberian Orchestra and a stint as the lead singer for the legendary
classic rock band Journey.
In 1995, Soto released his first solo album, ‘Love Parade’, followed years
later by the acclaimed ‘Prism’ (2002), then ‘Lost In The Translation’
(2005), ‘Beautiful Mess’ (2009), “Damage Control” (2012), and “Retribution”
(2017).
Soto is an extraordinary performer and amazing vocalist. He delivers on hard
rocking tracks with incredible energy and easily transitions to a powerful
performance on epic ballads.
