The Players Cover Band from Baltimore, MD

'The Players have put out 'Instrumental' and I would say that this was a must listen for all those who enjoy ska-like music. They are clearly an accomplished organization with a tight sense of the groove and easy skankin that makes such music so damn good. This is one that I am keeping for sure and I suggest that you go out and check them live, for such bands as this do not come into being very often and what they can do with music is phenomenal.' Laurin Wollan, Nov. 2001, Music Monthly We are a 6 piece Alternative Band with a Ska edge. Our influences range from rock & roll, to ska, to reggae, funk, jazz, even zydeco. You name it.
