TALISMAN To Reunite At Sweden Rock Festival For Special Performance In Tribute To Late Bassist MARCEL JACOB​


"... "Marcel Jacob (1964-2009) who would have turned 60 this year, was Talisman's bassist and undisputed leader. In his honor, the band's music is now performed by his surviving fellow musicians - singer Jeff Scott Soto, guitarist Fredrik Åkesson and drummer Jamie Borger. Bassist Johan Niemann (Evergrey) completes the setting, in a way that guarantees that we will hear classics such as 'I'll Be Waiting', 'Mysterious' and 'Colour My XTC", which is due to one of Sweden's premier hard rock bands of all time.
