E.C. Scott

Life and career Most sources give her birth name as Ecrettia Jacobs,

In her childhood she saw gospel singers such as Shirley Caesar and Inez Andrews. Hard Act to Follow duly followed in 1998.

Her self-released album, The Other Side of Me (2003), included more of her self-penned numbers, and had a guest vocal appearance by Little Milton on two of the tracks, "Just One of Those Days" and "If I Can Borrow Some of Your Love". In Lincoln, Nebraska, she had filmed a video for "These Ain't Yo Daddy's Kind of Blues," another track from The Other Side of Me. However, Scott discovered that, without a single blues video television program in the United States, she was left with only her own website and YouTube to air the promotional tool. In November 2006, performing as a television host, she presented the first show of the American public access television program, EC's Jook Joint, which reaches eight million households through around 350 broadcast stations nationwide. The program features videos of blues performances, with introductions and editing work by Scott.

In 2009, she toured Europe and regularly appears at Biscuits & Blues in San Francisco. In 2011, she performed at the Riverfront Blues Festival.

She currently lives in Union City, California, in a house which incorporates her home studio for editing EC's Jook Joint.
