Essential Groove

Essential Groove is a Pop Rock n Roll band based out of Cleveland Ohio. The bands genre is hard to define though, depending on the tune, there are a lot of Jazz, Funk, and good old rock and roll roots. All of the band members grew up in the Cleveland area and have been making music since! Essential Groove's mission is to create and play beautiful music for people to enjoy. 

Founded in 2011, Essential Groove has been dedicated to delivering a quality live performance since the very beginning.  In 2013, Essential Groove released their first full-length album, The Bright Side ©, and have been playing out and writing music since.  A new EP, All The Same was released last year.  This new EP showcases a new sense of emotion and feeling all communicated through music arrangement. 

The band draws on a number of different influences across many different genres, including Dave Mathews Band, Eric Clapton, Steve Winwood, The Beatles, Spencer Davis Group, Traffic, and Earth Wind and Fire… As well as many other contemporary artists. 

Building a band and a community of fans is always a complex act. Doing so as a young, class- and job-strapped seven-piece is even tougher, but Essential Groove has been doing just that for the past few years. They've developed a nice rep around town for an awesomely danceable, must-see live show.
