the essentials

welcome to the essentials. 

good friends, good tunes, and good musicians, mean good times! 

we enjoy playing
great material that not everyone else plays and making it our own!  even though it makes it extremely difficult to categorize a band that goes from bonnie raitt, kelly clarkson and adele to gavin degraw, marvin gaye and back to gladys knight, carrie underwood and kings of leon!  we love the diversity and being able to keep a crowd of multiple generations dancing together!

driven by three and four part harmonies and a heart pumping rhythm section, the essentials are: dorothy & roger hoilman, tony kukulich, cooke harvey and dan sarkissian come out and experience the essentials for yourself!  it's all you need!

we are the essentials!
