The Professors are a group of composing musicians performing and recording in the New York and New Jersey area. Based in central New Jersey, The Professors bring together rhythms and sounds from a variety of styles to create provocative original and interpretive music with ingredients drawn from Chicago blues, British psych rock and the classics, songs at times amusing and satirical, other times polemical and raging, but always a great night of music.

I came across your youtube videos of The Professors' Pink Floyd show. I am a big Pink Floyd fan, so I really enjoyed listening to you guys play your version of their songs. Nice guitar work and vocals! Your group sounds great, and I will have to look y'all up if I am ever up in New Jersey. The shows at the Pony bar look like fun. -- Jeff Dubea, New Orleans, LA, February 1, 2012

While The Professors regularly perform at venues in and around New York City, the core members of The Professors are professionals with day jobs who specialize in the use of language and image within the capitalist system, commenting through musical vituperation and mockery on the absurdities inherent in the efforts to earn a living in today's society through education, persuasion and depiction.
