House Bands and Session Bands

At Artist Republic, we specialise in assembling world class musicians for artists, events and productions that demand excellence. Our House Bands and Session Bands service exists for clients who need more than just a collection of players. They need a tight, musically intelligent unit that can interpret, elevate and deliver performances at the very highest standard.

‍

Whether you are an event organiser curating a headline show, a label preparing for a live showcase, or an original artist stepping onto a bigger stage, Artist Republic provides the professional infrastructure and personnel to make it happen. Each of our bands is built around a Musical Director who oversees arrangements, manages rehearsals, and ensures every musician understands the artistic vision and technical detail required.

‍

Built Around Excellence

‍

Our network includes some of the finest session musicians in the United Kingdom. These are individuals who have performed with chart topping artists, toured internationally and recorded in world renowned studios. From rhythm sections that groove effortlessly to brass, string and vocal ensembles capable of cinematic power, our musicians combine technical mastery with musical empathy. They do not just play the notes, they bring the songs to life.

‍

We take the time to understand the purpose of each performance. For an original artist, this might mean recreating the sound of a record in a live setting while enhancing its energy and emotional reach. For a high profile event, it could mean designing a band that can move seamlessly across genres, from soul to pop, from rock to orchestral moments, ensuring every transition feels natural and polished.

The Role of the Musical Director

‍

Every Artist Republic band is led by a professional Musical Director (MD) whose role is to translate creative vision into performance reality. The MD handles everything from score preparation and arrangement writing to live show direction and click track management. They liaise directly with artists, production teams and event coordinators to guarantee complete alignment between music, visuals and logistics.

‍

This structure allows our clients to focus on their artistry or event experience, confident that the musical execution is in expert hands. It is the same model used by major tours, television productions and international festival stages, scaled appropriately for your needs.

‍

Tailored to Every Project

‍

No two performances are the same, and neither are our bands. Some projects require a five piece rhythm section with backing vocalists, while others call for a twelve piece spectacular featuring strings and horns. We build from the ground up, selecting musicians whose playing styles, personalities and experience complement the artist or event brief.

‍

Rehearsals, arrangements and backline logistics are all managed in house by our production team, ensuring the process is smooth and professional from the first consultation to the final encore. We can also integrate click tracks, stems and synced visuals where required, aligning live performance with lighting, video and sound design for a fully immersive result.

‍

Trusted by Professionals

‍

Our musicians have performed everywhere from the Royal Albert Hall to Glastonbury, on arena tours, television broadcasts and high end corporate stages. They are trusted for their reliability, professionalism and ability to deliver under pressure. Artist Republic has become a go to resource for artists and creative directors who need a band they can depend on completely.

‍
