About Amos Heller
Originally an upright orchestral bass player Virginia, Amos discovered his love for Funk and Heavy Metal in high school and picked up Electric Bass. Even though having made a name for himself and getting a decent amount of studio work in Virgina, Amos’ dream was to go on tour and play the BIG shows. “I’d see a tour bus roll through town, and I would want to be on it.”
Figuring that “one must be present to win,” Amos moved to Nashville with next to nothing, waiting tables and doing roadie work, but jumping on any opportunity to make music.
Only two years later, he had worked his way up to touring and recording for Josh Gracin, Rhett Akins, and Mindy MacCready and has been the keeper of the low end for megastar Taylor Swift since 2007.
