BIO
History...
Back in 1987, a group of guys from the neighborhood got together for their
first rehearsal. With each having a unique style to contribute, they
thought they might have something to offer to the group. They
haven't looked back since. THE BUSINESS has been attracting a lot
of attention since those early days. Their quality tone and
energetic performances have made them one of the most recognizable bands
in both the public and private sectors.

Lights, Camera,
Action... Their reputation was what prompted producers of a nationally televised
network special to contact them during the production of ABC's
"Brides: A Tale of Two Weddings." Having come highly recommended
by local catering facilities in the Delaware Valley, television execs
figured THE BUSINESS might be able to familiarize them with wedding
customs in the area. After seeing and hearing THE BUSINESS in
action, they were chosen to appear on the show as the featured musicians
as well as play background music during title and collage segments of the
project. The 1991 special was initially seen by more than 10 million
households nationwide. The ABC production has since been syndicated
and aired several more times.
In 1993, the group wrote, recorded and performed the official fight song
for the National League Champion Philadelphia Phillies. "Those
Phillies Thrill Me" was selected one of the best songs of 1993 by
"Out On The Town" Magazine. THE BUSINESS also made
the exclusive video for the song on Prism as well as appeared on several
playoff specials on Channel 10. This gave THE BUSINESS a
chance to perform live on radio and television. 1993 also brought
the group a chance to compete on the nationally syndicated television
series, "Ed McMahon's Star Search." They made their way
onto the stage and into the homes of millions of viewers. In 1995,
"Hip Hop a Billy" (A Business original) was selected as one of
the best songs by "Out On The Town" Magazine. THE
BUSINESS also has a full length CD featuring 11 original songs and a
remake of the hit ballad, "I Believe In You and Me", originally
recorded by The Four Tops, which debuted live on Q102's morning show.
THE BUSINESS are not only colleagues, but close friends from the
same tight-knit South Philadelphia neighborhood. They pride
themselves for keeping the same core personnel for the past 15 years.
Not an easy task in today's competitive business.
Celebrating their 18th anniversary together, THE BUSINESS
continues to provide constant enthusiasm as well as savvy.
The future is bright for THE BUSINESS. There are many other things
THE BUSINESS would like to accomplish. So keep your eyes and ears
open, because whenever you encounter THE BUSINESS, it will be
spectacular!
