As a stage performer, he and his band,Eric Stuart Band, have toured withPeter Frampton (1999, 2000),Ringo Starr & His All-Starr Band (1997),^[1]Lynyrd Skynyrd (1997), and has opened forJethro Tull (1997),Julian Cope (1995),Hall & Oates (1997, 1998) andChicago (1995, 1997, 1998) as well.^[4]

In 2000, Frampton produced his albumBlue, Dressed in Black.^[1][5]

In 2007, he released his fourth full-length albumIn The County Of Kings as the Eric Stuart Band under Stuart's own independent label, Widow's Peak Records. The title of the album comes fromKings County, Brooklyn, where Stuart was born and raised. In addition, the front cover art depicts theBrooklyn Bridge andNew York City in juxtaposition with theGreat Pyramid, theSphinx of Giza, and theValley of the Kings, which are inEgypt. The musical style ofIn The County Of Kings is morecountry-sounding than any previous Eric Stuart Band album, and is described by Eric Stuart as "concrete country." With regard to this, Stuart writes,

I was trying to come up with a way to explain the type of music I play. Americana was too rootsy, folk-rock only touched on a part of my sound and county/rock made it sound like I wore a cowboy hat. I am born and raised in Brooklyn, New York, but I play music with a strong lyrical, melodic, story based approach. There are many country elements as well. I thought the combination of "Concrete" to connect with the sidewalks and buildings I grew up around as well as the rock connotations that word brings plus the "Country" would show I was touching on string songwriting and storytelling that went with country music.^[6]

In The County Of Kings includes a re-release of Stuart's songs "The Bottom Line" (1996, from the albumPicture Perfect World), and "Paint the Town Tonight" (2000, from the albumBombShellShocked). The album also incorporates more guest musicians than in previous ESB albums. Stuart sings with his sisterBarbara Brousal in "The Land Of What Might Have Been." Not all the songs call in numerous accompaniments however; in "This Love," Stuart is only accompanied by band members Jenna Malizia (background vocals) and Questar Welsh (background vocals and keyboards).^{[citation needed]}
