House band

House band

A house band is a group of musicians, often centrally organized by a band leader, who regularly play an establishment. 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. The term can also refer to a group that plays sessions for a specific recording studio. There was also a band called The House Band, which played Celtic/British Folk music from 1984 until 2001.

Some notable house bands include:

* Four Poofs and a Piano (Friday Night with Jonathan Ross)
* Booker T. & the M.G.s (Stax Records)
* The CBS Orchestra (The "Late Show with David Letterman")
* The Funk Brothers (Motown Records)
* The Tonight Show Band ("The Tonight Show")
* The Max Weinberg 7 ("Late Night with Conan O'Brien")
* Saturday Night Live Band ("Saturday Night Live")
* Joe Firstman on Last Call with Carson Daly
* Cleto and the Cletones, ("Jimmy Kimmel Live!")
* The House Band ("Rock Star")
* Clint Velour and the Camembert Quartet
