June 30, 2017Eleanor was the perfect addition to my rooftop dinner. She accommodated the set list that I had in mind for my guests whose ages ranged from 17 to 67. I couldn't have asked for such an easy performer to work with since I had posted on here about a week before my event. I was a bit concerned since I contacted her so last minute, but she responded quickly and provided information before I even thought to ask. All of my guests and I loved her. When I think back to my birthday dinner, I can hear her beautiful voice in the background! It wouldn't have been the eventful night it was without her. I would definitely book her again and recommend her.

Thank you Erika! It was a pleasure to work with you and to be able to share in your celebration. You are a shining star. I wish you all the best in your next steps, and I have no doubt that you are equipped with the skills and values that will take you as far as you want to go (and maybe further!). Also - you totally got me into Bruno Mars' new record! It's my summer jam. Congratulations, and enjoy your summer!
Warmest regards,
Eleanor
Price range: $100 and up
Languages: English, French, Hebrew, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish
Gig length: 30 - 180 minutes
I can accommodate the size and scope of your event and perform solo, as a duo, a trio, or full band.
You can expect a mature, excellent quality performance of popular, jazz and original music, played by world class musicians who are courteous, responsible, on time and pleasant to work with.
I sing in English, French and Spanish and can cater to your preference.
You can expect us to enhance an elegant evening and/or to bring a down to earth, beachy feel to an informal occasion.
From my music you can expect to be moved, to dance, to feel transported around the world and to want to get up and play with us, because we have a lot of fun.
Vocalist, cellist and guitarist Eleanor Dubinsky is a multilingual jazz songwriter. Singing in English, Spanish, Portuguese and French, Eleanor and her world-class band invite audiences to dance, sing, clap and reflect. Each concert is an opportunity to travel the world while discovering underground tributaries that connect us in our shared human experience. In the words of journalist Tom Pryor, expect "a joyous, uplifting and deeply generous performance...this is music as medicine for your soul."
I can provide a full stage plot for solo, duo, trio and full band, depending on which setup you select. We are pretty standard in terms of technological needs.
