WHEN YOU LIVE - The Story: Ten years ago, EA's best buddy, and guitarist Brad Ayers, 26 from North Carolina had died from an unexpected freak accident. Braddo was her guitarist playing gigs all over, recording, performing, and you can hear him on her previous released album, an underground Indie cult favorite - Oracle Of The Black Swan which lit up at over 118 college radio stations all over the U.S. upon its release. Upon Braddo's death, EA was crushed, the band broke up, EA went dark. It took TEN (10) years for her to come back and finally released a new album, through encouragement from her world class rock buddies. The result: WHEN YOU LIVE. A powerful testament of survival, real Life stories and Truth. And you can hear the song BRADDO, written as a celebration of Braddo's story and homage to her buddy-o pal. "He was a genius on the Les Paul. Period." Cites EA. He is missed and you can feel the passion of EA's intensity on BRADDO.
OTHER GREAT SONGS / WHEN YOU LIVE: EA has written The Forest Song, her declaration of true love and passion in saving the great rain forests on planet Earth; B; a ripping opening in OLD TIMES featuring her blistering Solo Keytar work; BIRTHDAe with POISON's Rikki Rockett on drums - the perfect birthday song to party with; IN YOUR YOUR OWN WORDS - a slam fest on wicked Keytar riffs Hendrix style with Black Swan musings all over this one; and the crowd favorite - I WISH IT WERE YOU for head bangers, fists and high octane energy.
