Chez Robert Giron

I've just returned from Lubber Run Amphitheater where I heard Eric Scott and his band play pop / neo-soul music which was extremely well received by the lively group this evening.

Eric Scott who hails from Baltimore is blessed with a wonderly soft, engaging voice that stays in one's ears like a fine red wine with a goumet dinner. He also writes his own songs but at times collaborates with Mike Stacey, Jennifer Smith, Scott Smith, Ruut, Charlie Colin, Robert Hotchkiss, Pat Monahan, James W. Stafford, and Scott Michael Underwood as in his most recent CD titled Where the Water Runs Deepest.

Concerts on Fridays and Saturdays begin at 8 PM. Also visit Lubber Run Amphitheater this summer for the following concerts:
