About

Essie & the Big Chill is comprised of five talented musicians from diverse backgrounds. The band formed by chance encounters in 2016 through mutual friends. The name "Essie" was a nickname the drummer gave to front woman, Sarah Ellen Riddle, as a play on her initials and a nod to her southern roots. You'll find Essie & the Big Chill playing anything from Mo-Town Funk, to Classic Rock and Today's Hits.
