Born and raised in Sweden, Eleonor Winston moved to New Orleans to study jazz at the University of New Orleans under the direction of Ellis Marsalis. After her studies she became a well-known feature on the New Orleans jazz scene for many years, including performances at the famous Snug Harbor and the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival. In 2005 when Hurricane Katrina devastated the city, Eleonor made Tucson her home, where her outstanding talent and distinctive, silky and soulful vocal style have been entrancing audiences ever since.
