SESSION MUSICANS
A studio musician is in essence a musical “gun for hire,” a musician who is paid to play on tracks without actually being a member of the band. In the studio, time is money. Studio musicians are capable of learning the song quickly and play it as though they were part of the band. It helps to have a great ear, excellent sight-reading skills, or both.
