Perfect summertime weather, combined with
beautiful peace-lovin' people buzzing to the
sweat sounds of the ten piece band from
Eugene, Oregon -- The Essentials.

The Essentials is a collaboration of ten highly talented
and experienced musicians, each with a personal or
 professional attachment to the University of
Oregon School of Music in Eugene. 
Covers of such artists as Stevie Wonder, Earth Wind
 and Fire, and  Chicago join originals written by the
group to make up the band's sound, a mixture of
tight rhythm, heavy brass and soulful vocals.

The band has performed at dozens of nightclubs
on the west coast from San Francisco to Seattle,
headlined festivals, played weddings and private parties,
and appeared at numerous college events and football
games. They have opened for such household names as
Leon Russel and the Cherry Poppin' Daddies.
Their original self-titled album, released in
Spring 2007, has had nothing but solid reviews,
and is receiving television licensure, spots
on national compilation albums, and rotation radio play
from Denver to Des Moines to New York.

The Essentials performance was sponsored
by the community minded folks at
Members 1st Credit Union
