“Formerly of Chicago and Friends - The Players“!
Features Keith Howland and Jeff Coffey, both former members of the rock ‘n’ roll Hall of Fame band “Chicago”. Keith served as the longest tenured guitarist in the band’s history for 27 years. Jeff Coffey, bassist and tenor vocalist extraordinaire, replaced Jason Scheff in 2016.
Surrounded by an all-star band featuring Rob Arthur (Peter Frampton) on keys/vocals, Ed Toth on drums (The Doobie Brothers), and a smokin’ 3 piece horn section, “The Players” deliver on every level. One very important fact to point out is that this is most definitely NOT a “tribute” band. This is 2 former members of the “real deal” Chicago, bringing you the songs and the energy you would expect at this level of musicianship and experience.
Finally, “The Players” bring with it many relationships with other great artists/musicians so you never know who might show up and join in the fun! Recent guests include Michael Bluestein (Foreigner), Tom Brechtlein (Kenny Loggins) and John Cowan (The Doobie Brothers)

TESTIMONIALS
The Players put on an absolutely terrific show for us on March 29 – the closer for our season - and what a way to end! Jeff and Keith are amazing musicians, and the band with them was nice and tight. To top it off, they were a dream to work with. An all around positive and uplifting experience … and great entertainment. Everyone loved the show!

Last Saturday night went to see this amazing show on Long Island. Keith and Jeff knocked it out of the park. They were incredible. Horn section excellent as well as keyboard player and a bonus the drummer from The Dobbie Brothers. An hours drive more than worth it. Will definitely go again and hopefully soon. If you get a chance it’s a must!
