About Me

"CAUGHT IN BETWEEN"
PRESS REVIEWS
"Though The Essentials seem to have dropped his name from the marquee, young singer-guitarist Zach Fowler still fronts this local pop-rock band; it’s his boyishly endearing vocals and tendency toward vaguely reggae-ish rhythms that sets The Essentials apart."
The Free Times - Columbia, SC

“Something in the music of Zach Fowler reminds me of the early days of the Hootie phenomenon in the Carolinas."
The Free Times - Columbia, SC
"Fowler and mates zigzag through genres with an honest flair. Whether it's folky pop, blue-eyed reggae or rock, the band tells truths."
The State - Columbia, SC
"Discover the radio-friendly sound."
The Herald - Rock Hill, SC
"Zach Fowler & the Essentials are one of the city's most recognizable new names... Certainly a group of up-and-comers to watch."
