Eric Scott is a modern soul artist from Washington, DC. A winner of 18 Wammie Awards, he's released 6 albums and toured internationally, and his songs have been featured in major films and TV shows.
While Washington, DC soul artist Eric Scott didn't want to “re-create” the sound of '70s Soul, instead he's unapologetically applied a fresh coat of paint to it with his latest album PEACE BOMB. Calling his new music “Modern Throwback Soul,” Scott’s music continues to evolve. The single ‘PEACE BOMB’ reached #13 on the UK Top 30 Soul Charts and stayed for 5 weeks. Unafraid of a pop hook, his sound has been described as “funky church,” featuring Scott’s Gospel and Soul drenched voice, which remains front and center on his six albums released on his Itzall Goode Music label.
Scott has toured internationally as a solo artist and bassist, sharing the stage with a diverse array of artists including James Brown, B.B. King, Aaron Neville, Keb’ Mo’, Mavis Staples, and many more. Recent collaborations include a stint as a vocalist for the Wounded Warriors MusiCorps Band with Roger Waters of Pink Floyd, Tom Morello, and Billy Corgan. His music has been featured on network and cable TV, as well as several major and indie motion pictures. His instantly recognizable voice has been featured in ad campaigns for HGTV, NAT GEO, Ford, Chevy, Jeep, Chrysler, DC Lottery, and many more. He is an 18-time Wammie winner (Washington Area Music Awards).
As a live performer, Scott and his stellar band of DC musicians bring it every night. Scott says, “I want to get people moving and shaking and smiling…and surround them with positive energy. If they can escape from the world for a few hours with me and my band…then we’ve done our job.”
