Julio Demonio
Julio Demonio is the alter ego of Julio Ángel García Aparicio, who after having played in various rock and roll and blues formations in Jaén from an early age, decided to launch himself into the world of solo music for a few years now with the desire of spreading his own songs accompanied by his guitars and harmonica. Since then he has been consolidating a staging that surprises for its ease and simplicity.
He has published several albums of his own edition, the last of which is entitled "Cavernarios"
