------------------------------------------------------- Jacob Eller, Clevinger bassist A native Virginian, Jacob was born in Marion, Virginia and grew up in the neighboring town of Chilhowie. He learned to play bass at age of 15 on an instrument given to him by his father Randal Eller, who played fiddle and sang in the band Cleghorn. This was a local band that played mainly for the fun of it, but these musicians were Jacob’s mentors, teaching him how to work in a band. Jacob began playing professionally in 2003, when he relocated to Berea, KY to play with his good friend Ryan Blevins’ band, Canebreak. That same year he started performing with the bluegrass band No Speed Limit before joining Sierra Hull & Highway 111 in 2009. -------------------------------------------------------
