house bands
Club's regular players
A house band is a musical group that performs regularly at a particular venue—a club, casino, or television show.
Late-night talk shows typically have house bands that play during breaks and accompany musical guests.
The term emphasizes the band's ongoing residency rather than touring or one-time appearances: The house band kicked off the show with a jazz number.
