For the Scottish group of musicians, see The House Band.
Group of musicians who regularly perform at an establishment or on a TV/radio show
A house band is a group of musicians, often centrally organized by a band leader, who regularly play at an establishment.[1]
It is widely used to refer both to the bands who work on entertainment programs on television or radio, and to bands which are the regular performers at a nightclub, especially jazz and R&B clubs.[2] The term can also refer to a group that plays sessions for a specific recording studio.[2] House bands on television shows usually play only cover songs instead of originals, and they play during times that commercials would be seen by the home viewing audience. Therefore, only those present in the studio during the show's taping see their full performances.
