Life

Henrik Freischlader recorded his first successes as a guitarist and singer with various blues bands, including Lash and Bluescream , especially in the Bergisches Land and on the Lower Rhine .

At the end of 2014 Freischlader disbanded the band after the “Night Train to Budapest Farewell Tour” - the last members were Theofilos Fotiadis (bass), Dirk Sengotta (drums) and Moritz Fuhrhop (Hammond organ). In 2016 he teamed up with Alex Grube (bass) and Carl-Michael Grabinger (drums) and recorded the album "Openness" under the name Henrik Freischlader Trio .

In 2009 Freischlader founded his own music label "Cable Car Records", with which he says he wants to "realize his musical projects and experiments". He recorded his studio solo albums almost on his own. On his album Still Frame Replay acts Joe Bonamassa with. Freischlader has been working as a multi-instrumentalist and composer with other artists for several years . He also produced two albums each for the Canadian artist Layla Zoe and the saxophonist and singer Tommy Schneller .

Influences

Musical influences represent u. a. Stevie Ray Vaughan , Jimi Hendrix and Gary Moore .

Equipment

Freischlader has been playing equipment since his first album "Realtone" amplifiers, whose developer Andreas Breuhaus developed a signature model especially for Freischlader . Freischlader's main guitar is a hair- stratocaster in the color sunburst , on the headstock of which a Fender sticker sticks despite the actual brand "hair" . Furthermore, Freischlader mainly uses Fender Stratocaster models, but occasionally also plays Fender Telecasters (as on the album "Rorymania" with Richie Arndt & the Bluenatics) or a red Gibson ES-335 , which he found on the group's album 5live only plays. It is also worth mentioning that he owns some Gibson Les Pauls and also plays with them on tour. Freischlader also rarely plays acoustic guitars from Ovation and Martin . Henrik Freischlader only incorporates a limited number of effects devices into his game; he uses the "Holy Grail", a reverb device from the Electro-Harmonix brand , various models of the Tubescreamer series from Ibanez and wah-wah pedals from Vox . Freischlader also uses George L brand cables and D'Addario NYXL strings (gauge .010 – .052).
