This legendary bassist just released his second solo album in his illustrious career titled “Satan’s Helpers, Warlazer Eyes & The Money Pig Circus” and brought the album in its entirety to a packed Tavastia in Helsinki!
John J. Presley proved at Backstage in Munich that darkness can be beautiful with his blues rock project, what turned out to be a quite intimate, almost private show for those who came out to enjoy the music!
