In July 2024, German blues-rock guitarist Henrik Freischlader—at the peak of his tour supporting Night Train to Budapest (2021), his most successful release with over 200,000 copies sold and blues standards covers—performed at Megève Blues Festival, an annual event launched in 2014 in Megève, France, as a platform for blues and rock emphasizing live jams amid Alpine landscapes. His 60-minute set on July 21 at Esplanade du Palais, captured in high quality, embodied the festival's 10th anniversary climax, where technical Gibson ES-335 solos intertwined with emotive vocals and organ parts to evoke warm resonance among 500 attendees under summer skies. Part of the special "anniversaire" night with Manu Lanvin and Johnny Gallagher, this performance highlighted Freischlader's role as a leading European bluesman, turning the esplanade into a space of genuine guitar dialogue.
