This 10 Song live Album fully captures the energy, joy, and excitement of Stefan Hillesheim Band’s performance at the 2025 Chicago Blues Festival.
The record features 8 original songs across multiple genres, including Blues, Southern Rock, and Soul Music, as well as 2 Songs that pay tribute to Texas Blues Giant Freddy King and the King of Slide Guitar, Elmore James.
The band's captivating dynamics, crying slide guitar, soulful vocals, virtuoso piano, deeply emotional lyrics, and hard-driving rhythm section will take you on a musical journey to Chicago’s Millennium Park, with front row seats to enjoy German native Stefan Hillesheim - accompanied by some of the Windy City’s finest musicians – giving a truly breathtaking performance.
