AMY HALL - PRESS KIT
BIO
Well-known for her contributions to Heart, Led Zeppelin, and Bad Company tribute bands, AMY HALL’s drumming has been described as impeccable, "like a human metronome," "like a freight train," and monstrous. As a bandleader and drummer, she has helped propel bands to top-tier, headliner status. She plays with confidence and authority, driving the band and always striving to serve the song. Her passion for drumming is infectious and shines through in her playing. "I can't remember NOT loving the drums," she says.
Amy has appeared in DRUM! Magazine, MODERN DRUMMER Magazine, DRUMHEAD Magazine, TOM TOM Magazine, KICKS! Entertainment Guide, on the television shows North Carolina Weekend and New Hampshire Chronicle. Touring the U.S., she has played large festival and casino stages, as well as House of Blues, The Fillmore, The Ritz, Rams Head, Hard Rock Cafe, etc., but she’s just as comfortable on smaller stages and in the recording studio.
She has worked with top engineer/tech Noel Scott White (Sting, Carrie Underwood, Herbie Hancock, Ringo Starr), Music Row-charting artist Johnny Orr, Grammy nominee Ricky Keen, and can be heard on studio recordings available on Spotify, Apple Music, etc., including songs by NC legends and Zip Records artist Stratocruiser, Arrow Beach, Rebel's Fox, Steph Maguire, Colonial Drug, Mike Nicholson, and Multiples, among others. Amy is also a credited songwriter, with new releases coming in 2026.
When she’s not in the studio, you can catch Amy playing with 3-time Carolina Music Awards nominee Monika Jaymes Band, Bad Company tribute Bad Incorporated, The White Stripes tribute Icky Thump, all-female "new grass" band Riggsbee Road, and 17 - A Stevie Nicks Odyssey. She has also studied under Todd Sucherman of Styx. Amy resides in Raleigh, NC and is available for gigs, projects, and sessions. Contact Amy for rates and availability.
