Eric Scott

Washington, D.C. area musician Eric Scott has to date enjoyed a varied and interesting musical journey. As a touring bassist and vocalist, Scott has performed on numerous stages throughout Europe, Canada, the Caribbean Islands, and the entire United States. This journey has led to sharing the stage with artist's as diverse as James Brown, B.B. King, and Ray Charles to Little Feat, Kansas, The Neville Brothers, Jimmy Buffett, and Keb' Mo'. During his long history as a sideman, songwriter and session musician, Scott has also released two solo records, DIVINE STATIC (1999), and LET'S HEAR IT FOR THE FOOLS (2002), to critical acclaim. About "Let's Hear It For The Fools," the Washington Post says "Whip smart...hard to resist...clearly the work of a pop artist talented and resourceful enough to stand on his own." The journey continues today with Scott's third release RED (Fall 2007), easily his most powerful and focused release to date. Of RED, Scott says "this is the record I've always hoped to make...it just took me awhile to get there. I feel like I've arrived at a place musically that feels like home to me." With influences blurring the lines of neo-soul, pop, funk, rock, and even gospel, Scott has arrived at a sound that is uniquely his own. RED profoundly showcases his continued maturation and growth as a songwriter, artist, and performer...with 13 original American soul/pop stories all keenly observant of today's world.
