ERIC SCOTT BAND
Washington, DC soul/pop artist and bassist Eric Scott has toured internationally as a solo artist and sideman. He has shared the stage with a diverse array of artists including James Brown, B.B. King, Mavis Staples, Aaron Neville, Booker T. Jones, REO Speedwagon, Foreigner, Southside Johnny, and many more. Recent collaborations include a stint as a vocalist for the Wounded Warriors MusiCorps Band with Roger Waters, Tom Morello, Billy Corgan, Jake Clemons, and G.E. Smith. He is an 18-time Wammie winner (Washington Area Music Association), and won a 2020 Wammie Award for ‘Best Pop Album’ for his 2019 release THE CHARM CITY SESSIONS. He was also a finalist in the prestigious 2020 Bernard/Ebb songwriting awards. His music has been featured on ABC-TV, Showtime, Cinemax, The WB, as well as several major motion pictures. His voice has been featured in ad campaigns for HGTV, NAT GEO, Ford, Chevy, Jeep, Chrysler, DC Lottery, and many more.
He recently released his 6th album PEACE BOMB on his own Itzall Goode Music label. The single ‘Peace Bomb’ landed on the UK Top 30 Soul Charts and stayed for 5 weeks, peaking at #13. Calling his new music “Modern Throwback Soul,” Scott’s music continues to evolve, yet remains funky, upbeat, soulful, and socially aware. He is unafraid of a pop hook, and his gospel and soul-drenched voice remains front and center. As a live performer, he brings it every night and always has a top band in tow. Says Scott, “I want to get booty’s movin’...and get people thinking about the world we live in."
He currently fronts the Eric Scott Band, featuring stellar DC musicians Dan Leonard on guitar, Deren Blessman on drums, Benjie Porecki on keys, and Eddie Montalvo on percussion.
