Eleanor Dakota (August 9)
Eleanor Dakota was raised on radio. Music radio in particular. From the beginning, her innate musicality was evident—she would coo in harmony and rock to the beat. Eleanor plays multiple instruments (drums, too). She can sight read music. And she finds music in everything.
During this time of pandemic, at the age of 17, Eleanor has been working on an album. She submitted this rough draft of one of the tunes that will be on her debut: “No Love of Mine”. soundcloud.com/user-288015515
