Produced and engineered by EA, this is a sonic masterpiece on fire, featuring her signature Keytar solo with heavy chops, superb arrangements recorded all LIVE on ANALOG - the real thing. Watching her belt out live is a mesmerizing experience, especially seeing her rip on her keyboards, belt out powerful dynamic Vocals and trance you with her ancient Kulintang percussion gongs, played in break neck speed with her tight rock band.
Full Feature in KEYBOARD MAGAZINE, calling EA's music, "muscular, with songs that are bursting with chops throughout...the album is most definitely rocking, her lyrics and musical sensibilities show a deeper pool of musical inspiration..."
Featured in KEYBOARD MAGAZINE's Keyboard TV (www.keyboardmag.tv) "What's Keyboard TV?" Herbie Hancock Issue, 2008 "Don't miss this...this amazing young keyboardist and songwriter...in mind blowing videos...she shows you exactly how she translates the ancient traditional sounds [Kulintang music] into her modern keyboard sounds!"
Featured in FAMEGATE Magazine, 2009 Winter Issue - "In fact, Eleanor used her Keytar doing blistering solos during a live performance with her rock band at the Beverly Hills Gibson Guitar Showroom. Hard to believe someone can pull off those riffs live when you hear the album; but seeing her live is genuine, musical artistry. Eleanor says of her band mates, 'If you can't play, you can't stay. She lives it fully...without fluff."
On WHEN YOU LIVE, you'll enjoy the stellar musicianship of Steve Smith (Journey); Carmine Appice (Jeff Beck, Rod Stewart); John Christ (Danzig); Greg and Matt Bissonette (Ringo Starr; David Lee Roth); Rikki Rockett (POISON); the late Michael Hartman (David Lee Roth); Joey Heredia (Sheila E); Doug Bossi (Joe Satriani); Yussi (Award winning guitarist) and more.

WHEN YOU LIVE - The Story: Ten years ago, EA's best buddy, and guitarist Brad Ayers, 26 from North Carolina had died from an unexpected freak accident. Braddo was her guitarist playing gigs all over, recording, performing, and you can hear him on her previous released album, an underground Indie cult favorite - Oracle Of The Black Swan which lit up at over 118 college radio stations all over the U.S. upon its release. Upon Braddo's death, EA was crushed, the band broke up, EA went dark. It took TEN (10) years for her to come back and finally released a new album, through encouragement from her world class rock buddies. The result: WHEN YOU LIVE. A powerful testament of survival, real Life stories and Truth. And you can hear the song BRADDO, written as a celebration of Braddo's story and homage to her buddy-o pal. "He was a genius on the Les Paul. Period." Cites EA. He is missed and you can feel the passion of EA's intensity on BRADDO.
OTHER GREAT SONGS / WHEN YOU LIVE: EA has written The Forest Song, her declaration of true love and passion in saving the great rain forests on planet Earth; B; a ripping opening in OLD TIMES featuring her blistering Solo Keytar work; BIRTHDAe with POISON's Rikki Rockett on drums - the perfect birthday song to party with; IN YOUR YOUR OWN WORDS - a slam fest on wicked Keytar riffs Hendrix style with Black Swan musings all over this one; and the crowd favorite - I WISH IT WERE YOU for head bangers, fists and high octane energy.
SOULS FROM ASH - See EA Live with her new rock band, and a new forthcoming album to follow WHEN YOU LIVE later this year.
OFFICIAL VIRGIN COLLEGE MEGA TOUR VILLAGE ARTIST - A very famous rock guitarist had listened carefully to one of her hard-driving songs and said, "Who was that playing the solos? That made me sweat!

Earlier, he had refused to have her play with the band as he wished to be the only keyboardist on stage, but quickly changed his mind after hearing her play.
Stewart Copeland (film composer and drummer with Rock Band-POLICE) has hired her as a vocalist; Jay Chattaway (composer, Star Trek) and Rikki Rockett (POISON) on his solo album "Glitter;" As a master percussionist she has opened for the LA Philharmonic at the Hollywood Bowl and Ojai Festival with her percussion ensemble, World Kulintang Institute; As a creative arts mentor - an Official U.S. Delegate Artist for Global Interactions' Leadership Conference in China; continues to mentor everyone from Girl Scouts to Fortune 500 CEOs!!
