 Vocalist - The In-House Band
A 'House Band' or 'in-house' band is the term used to describe session musicians or a band who are employed on a regular basis and paid a fixed wage which may be supplimented by bonuses for commercial success.

Originally a house band was hired by Theatres and large Clubs who could afford to pay a reasonable fee for quality musicians, but the concept became popular with other types of venue and the standard of musicianship varied in direct relationship to the amount of money that the management paid.
