Eric Scott was also the co-writer of “Father, Father,” the title track for gospel/R&B legend Pops Staples' album that won a GRAMMY Award for ‘Best Contemporary Blues Album’ in 1994. This eventually led Erik to working with Mavis Staples​ on her 2004 record ‘Have A Little Faith’. As the 2000’s progressed, Scott drew his attention towards solo projects and albums, including “Other Planets”, “And The Earth Bleeds”, and “Spirits”…. his latest accomplishment, “In the Company of Clouds” which took top accolades of “ALBUM OF THE YEAR” and “BEST CONTEMPORARY INSTRUMENTAL ALBUM” at the ZMR MUSIC AWARDS ceremony this past May in New Orleans, LA for 2016.
