Her clients span a wide range of genres and include artists such as Paris Paloma, Mickey Guyton, Aaron Rowe, Shelby Lynne, Mavis Staples, Gillian Welch & Dave Rawlings, Larkin Poe and Caitlyn Smith. In 2019, she started recording in her home studio and now regularly plays on and engineers projects for clients remotely while still enjoying visits to recording studios in Nashville such as Oceanway, Sputnik Sound, The Smoakstack and The Sound Emporium. Eleonore was nominated for ACM Specialty Instrument Player of the Year in 2026.

In addition to recording and performing, Eleonore believes strongly in setting up future music generations for success and creating equitable spaces for those who have been underrepresented and underserved, especially in the string world. She has been a mentor for The Recording Academy’s Grammy U for the past six years. As a graduate of Leadership Music in 2023, Eleonore hopes to continue fostering a greater sense of urgency for solving industry shortcomings and celebrating the rich diversity that makes our music community so special.
