- Additional Info: Stefan Hillesheim is a German native who made the big move across the Atlantic to chase his American Dream. In 2014, Stefan first arrived in Los Angeles, California, to attend Musicians Institute (GIT), where he was awarded Most Improved Student. Soon after, he began to play in renowned gospel churches and live music venues around the country. His signature finger-style guitar tone and driving rhythm guitar skills make Stefan a high-demand session player. During his time in California, Stefan has performed and recorded with many notable artists, including Bobby Kimball (Toto), Ellis Hall (Tower of Power), Brent Carter (Average White Band), Emerson Cardenas (Santana), Frank Nitty (2Pac), and James Fortune. In 2022, Stefan relocated to Chicago in pursuit of his love of the blues. Shortly after his arrival, Stefan formed a band comprised of seasoned Windy City musicians, who perfectly complemented his style, passion, and love for the blues. The Chicago blues community welcomed Stefan with open arms – Stefan is best known for his slide guitar playing, soulful vocals, and dynamic live performances. Stefans main musical influences are Elmore James, Albert King, Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, Derek Trucks, and Otis Redding.
