Voice Seeking Discovery

About Me

Eileen Faxas hears songs in her dreams. In her car. In the shower. When she's trying to watch travel shows. When she meets certain people....Fans call her stage presence magical and rave about her shows, which are alternately funny, moving, different, and mesmerizing.First you notice THE VOICE, which easily soars and whispers with a roller coaster of emotion. Then there's the music: a fusion of adult contemporary pop and jazz with a twist of dance and salsa and even a dash of rock in live shows. But ultimately, for Eileen it's about honest and evocative lyrics that DO something to your insides when you listen.The Miami-born singer-songwriter describes her debut CD, "Dance Cry Swing" as "a musical journey" through several genres and emotions.The amazing story behind the story -- and every superstar should have one -- is Eileen was a TV reporter who won three Emmy Awards. But incredibly (or strangely, depending on your point of view), Eileen quit her big-time TV job to be a singer! Eileen's TV fans can now see her on Barrio305.com as an entertainment correspondent, where she blends her love of music and journalism by interviewing rising music stars and stealing all their secrets to success!

From Hard Hearted to Crybaby...An Unwanted Transition

Yesterday, the Publix commercial got me.   Not a classic Hallmark tear-jerker commercial employing every emotional trick in the book.  Nope.  I fell for a supermarket ad.   In...

Five Years Later, my heart still scrunches up

It contracts and squeezes and aches that distinct yet dull ache that reminds me how much pain still dwells in the void of her absence. My grandmother, aka "abuela", died five and a half...

DEAR VEGAS, THE THRILL IS GONE...

Ernesto, The Bath and The $120 Towel

It was a dark and stormy night.... Or not so much. It was supposed to be a dark and stormy night.  Instead, we got the Bart Simpson of Tropical Storms.  An underachiever.  Frankly, an ...
