Bio
Washington, DC singer/songwriter and bassist Eric Scott has thus far had an interesting musical and life journey. As an artist and sideman, he has toured internationally, sharing the stage with B.B. King, Mavis Staples, Aaron Neville, REO Speedwagon, Pink Floyd’s Roger Waters, and many more. He’s written, produced, and released 5 solo albums, and his music has been featured on ABC-TV, Showtime, Cinemax, The WB, as well as several indie and major motion pictures. His singing voice has been featured in international and regional ad campaigns for HGTV, NAT GEO, Ford, Chevy, Jeep, Chrysler, DC Lottery, and many more. He is a 15-time Wammie winner, as awarded by the Washington Area Music Association (WAMA).
The journey continues with the release of the EP THE CHARM CITY SESSIONS (2019) and the full length CD PEACE BOMB (2020)…both on his own Itzall Goode Music label. His ‘Modern Soul’ sound continues to evolve, yet remains funky, upbeat, socially aware, and ever soulful. Pop tunes and hooks meld seamlessly with groovy new school RnB, nasty funk, and the introspective lyrical approach of a singer/songwriter that examines relationships, the world we live in, and being true to one’s self. Scott’s gospel drenched voice invites you on this journey of new school soul and remains front and center.
Many years of international festival and club performances with a top notch professional band in tow has taught Scott the importance in entertaining an audience to the fullest, and has fine tuned an act that is comfortable on any stage. "As a performer, I want to get people moving, smiling, and feeling as if they've just had the time of their life, all while thinking a little bit about this world we live in." says Scott.
As an artist, says Scott, "I just want to make the most honest music that I can in the best way that I know how and let all my influences and instincts guide me. I think being an artist means having the ultimate trust in yourself. Life has been my best teacher, and it’s taught me to embrace the uniqueness of one’s self. If I can wake up every day and do that, then I’m doing alright.”
