PRESS REVIEWS
"If one could conceivably monetize the abstract concept that is potential, the two acts taking The Elbow Room's stage tonight would be millionaires. Headliners Zach Fowler and the Essentials purvey a brand of fluid, easygoing folk-pop that is reminiscent of the heyday or Hootie and Edwin McCain."
The Free Times - Columbia, SC
"An alt-rock, pop group from Columbia, SC that plays melody-driven tunes, but at the same time explores a jammier sound with funky, freestyle bass and guitar."
Flagpole - Athens, GA
"Caught In Between gained local acoustic rocker Zach Fowler and his band tons of fans in the Carolinas, one college bar at a time. The disc, released late last year, sold out of its initial pressing months ago (though it’s still available online in digital form), a good sign for the group’s commercial potential. This summer, Fowler and company will be taking their reggae-tinged pop-rock far from their native Southeast; there’s a gig at the Whiskey in Los Angeles listed on the band’s upcoming calendar for early July."
The Free Times - Columbia, SC
"Young singer-guitarist Zach Fowler 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
"Zach Fowler and the Essentials release their debut album Caught in Between tonight; these local USC boys have been making a name for themselves with their radio-friendly jams a la Jack Johnson, Dave Matthews Band and Jason Mraz. They’re pretty darn good at it, too. It definitely wouldn’t be a huge stretch to think about passing by a freshmen-girls’ dorm on a Saturday and hearing these guys blasting out of several windows. And if you get that audience, well, you’ve won the game, haven’t you?"
The Free Times - 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."
The CityPaper - Columbia, SC
