Keith Howland, who held the role of lead guitarist and occasional vocalist for Chicago for an impressive 27 years, remains the longest-serving guitarist in the band’s history. Jeff Coffey, bassist and tenor vocalist extraordinaire, became Chicago’s lead singer in 2016. Effortlessly singing all those great Peter Cetera hits that everyone knows and loves, made him a perfect fit to carry on the legacy of one of the greatest voices in rock history.  His immediate impact on the band was profound as he brought an energy and talent that was undeniable to anyone who saw the band during his tenure.

One of the brightest spots of Keith and Jeff’s time with the band was sharing the stage with the great Earth, Wind, and Fire on a sold out arena tour where both bands would share the stage for a 6 song encore that always brought the house down! 

Keith and Jeff, who had become fast friends during their time together with Chicago, decided to form a new band called “The Players” which brings a blend of classic Chicago hits, grooving Earth Wind and Fire tunes, as well as a few choice favorites from that same era. Several highlights during that time include, performing at the band’s induction into the Rock and Roll HOF, playing for several Presidents, and writing/arranging and recording on many of the bands albums.

Surrounded by an all star band featuring Doug Carter (Lee Greenwood) on keys/vocals, the fiery Antony Livoti on drums, and a smokin’ 3 piece horn section, “The Players” is a legacy act, featuring 2 former high profile members of Chicago, bringing you the songs and the energy just as they did as key members of the band.
