The legend continues… The Soto Six make their debut at Golden Island Dim Sum & Asian Cuisine for the 282nd installment of Dim Sum & Jazz - one of San Diego's longest-running weekly live music dining experiences! Seating Begins at 6 p.m. Music from 6:30-8:30 p.m. Call (858) 578-8800 for reservations! CHECK THIS VIDEO OUT: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yejrHRuejcY About The Soto Six The Soto Six is a group of friends who share a deep passion for jazz music. In January 2022, The Soto Six began their first weekly residency at Baba Coffee in the heart of Carlsbad Village. Baba has become the Soto Six’s “second home”, and every Friday the group can be found performing on the venue’s patio. Several years in, the Baba residency continues to go strong. Additionally, since 2023 the group has staged concerts at many libraries throughout the county (including several at Carlsbad Library’s Schulman Auditorium), and the band also established Oceanside’s only weekly “Jazz Brunch” taking place at The Brick Hotel on Sunday mornings. Presently, The Soto Six continues to expand their live performance schedule and works tirelessly to bring live jazz to diverse audiences one performance at a time. The band routinely performs in a variety of settings, with varied instrumentation/personnel, and often with less than six total band members, but one thing is always present: love and passion for the music. There is no telling what the future holds for The Soto Six, but the band would like to thank everyone who has been supportive of their endeavors over the years.

Shakedown Citi is a fresh new force on the jam band scene, born in the heart of a Grateful Dead parking lot at Citi Field in 2023. When the band's members crossed paths on Shakedown Street, something clicked - and the music hasn't stopped since. Rather than imitating the Dead, Shakedown Citi channels their spirit - creating spontaneous, soulful performances that feel alive, adventurous and totally in the moment. Each set is a journey, full of unexpected twists, deep grooves and musical conversation that pulls even the most skeptical listener into the vibe. Every Shakedown Citi show begins long before the first note. Each setlist is thoughtfully and meticulously crafted from the Dead repertoire, affiliated catalogs and beyond, balancing deep cuts and beloved anthems, rarities and reprises. No two nights are ever the same - each performance stands as a work of art on its own, alive in its moment, while also fitting into the larger patchwork of the repertoire. It's not just a tribute - it's the Dead, reborn. Shakedown Citi on Facebook / Instagram
