Backup band
A backing band or backup band is a musical ensemble that accompanies an artist at a live performance or on a recording.[1] This can either be an established, long-standing group that has little or no change in membership, or it may be an ad hoc group assembled for a single show or a single recording. Ad hoc or "pickup" groups are often made up of session musicians.
