the essentials

welcome to the essentials. 

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

we enjoy playing
great material and making it our own!  we believe that the essentials will surprise you with the variety of songs we play.  even though it makes it extremely difficult to categorize a band that goes from pink, red hot chili peppers, bonnie raitt, kelly clarkson and adele to gavin degraw, marvin gaye, train, the beatles and back to gladys knight, carrie underwood, janis joplin and kings of leon!  we love the diversity and being able to keep a crowd of multiple generations dancing and having a great time 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!
