I came across a heartfelt piece in People where bassist Amos Heller reflected on the ERAS Tour—a once-in-a-lifetime experience that left a deep and lasting impact on him.
Naturally, I was eager to speak with Amos, and he was kind enough to carve out time for this conversation.
In this interview, Amos opens up about his musical journey, how he crafts his signature sound, shares his thoughts on bass gear, offers behind-the-scenes insight into performing with Taylor Swift, and gives us a glimpse into what’s next for him.
