Stephen Heller stands as a shining example of the Indie dream at work. And let's be
perfectly clear. There are tens of thousands of new bands and artists with stars set so
deep in their eyes that they can't see past their arrogant little noses. But in the case of
Stephen we tip our hat in respect.
Most of those that invest in a college education come out finding jobs that steal away their
time and energy and push their musical ambitions a little further back on the stove. When
Stephen Heller graduated he got fast to work on his true ambition; a career in music.
His full length, self produced debut CD 'From East to West', a 2007 Independent release,
features his incredible range of music abilities. Stephen Heller performs all instruments
accompanied only by his father on the tracks 'Is This the End?', 'Valentine Verses', and
'What Goes Around'.
This album is a bright and insightful set of songs that celebrate life and ask timeless
questions that can only be answered with music. And Stephen Heller punctuates those
answers with songs like 'Only One Knows', an instrumental with a personal meaning that
transcends words and evokes tears. Tunes like 'Is This the End?' are distinctly reminiscent
of the John Melloncamp school of ballads that could earn Stephen Heller a long lasting
career.
At age fifteen he was playing for a local band while doing the booking, marketing and
management; a natural extension to becoming a solo artist. This fall he has a wide reaching
tour that kicks off at the end of August during Park Rock in Great Mills, Md. He'll be playing
dates from Boston to St. Louis, from Houston to Daytona, having set up his entire tour with nothing more than a phone, email address and lots of sweat. Fifty dates on the schedule
and counting.
The impressive thing about this tour is that Stephen Heller is donating twenty-five percent
of the tour proceeds and fifty percent of CD sales to the John Kanzius Cancer Research
Foundation.
Stephen says, "Life is my inspiration, I have always thought how lucky I am to be here," a
statement that is clearly reflected in his music and his dedication to his career.
