Players was started in 1982 as a 4 piece all male band. Our first expansion was the addition of a female vocalist and a sax player in 1992. We've recently added another horn player and we're now a 7 piece band. We've always enjoyed a busy schedule (averaging 90-100 performances every year).

All of the musicians in Players are in the music business full-time. Our jobs include teaching, performing, studio work etc.

We perform mostly in the Boston area, Cape Cod, Newport RI and Southern NH.
