   About Eleanor Fye
Sometimes life takes you down unexpected roads. Eleanor Fye can attest to that, and her music holds the same surprises. A genre-defying performer and writer in classical, jazz, and pop/rock circles, she views each performance as a step toward integrating a vast range of influences in her own unique way, For her, it’s all about the song and the story; whether a jazz standard done up along the lines of Tori Amos or Carole King, a Puccini aria accompanied by country-style guitar, or a pop/rock creation of her own, she delivers with passion and authenticity. Her original songs are spirited and soulful explorations of the tension between head and heart, grief and joy, hope and regret, belonging and independence. Laced with edges of folk, country, blues and punk, they offer solid, stick-to-your-ribs sustenance.

The voice is another thing entirely -- a smooth, golden ribbon of sound, capable of anguished, Raitt-ian growls, or angelic, Riperton-esque riffs. The voice heals as it humbles, and Eleanor herself seems to be the biggest recipient of both gifts. As a professional choral singer she has performed onstage under the batons of such renowned conductors as Mstislav Rostropovich and Peter Phillips (Tallis Scholars), and in the studio, has sung on a number of big-budget videogame and movie soundtracks (“Halo 3,” “Ghost Rider"). As a breakaway solo artist she suddenly felt songs coming on in 2006, and the following year followed her heart to Nashville to produce her debut release, “Drive,” with Grammy-nominated Jason Lehning at the board. On the wheels of her keyboard talents, honed as a professional since high school, she takes an audience down many a side road that’s much more interesting than the interstate.

After Eleanor’s first gig in Nashville, Wendy Vickers (Nashville music blogger, publicist, and radio personality) wrote: “she successfully used her classical, jazz and pop influences to totally enchant and engage the audience with her warm personality, personal songwriting and excellent vocals … She asked the crowd to sing along with her cover of the Minnie Riperton hit "Loving You" ... I figured perhaps outside of Mariah Carey, few could pull off the stratospheric part of the end of that chorus. Well, Eleanor did. It sure blew us all away. She got a standing ovation for her set from me … Eleanor Fye is certainly where she belongs being here in Nashville. I say keep an ear out for her to do great things.”
