If you are looking for a good time and some live music then you need to come to a ROOTDOWN show. The infectious enthusiasm of the group's performance will have you smiling and moving your feet from the door to the dance floor. Combining elements of pop, rock and reggae ROOTDOWN's music creates an excellent backdrop to your night. Their live performance is like a vibrant mood of sunshine even where it rains most of the year... Oregon.

Created in the summer of 2007 by solo national touring/recording artist Paul Wright ROOTDOWN is a four-piece band that also features a special guest horn section on live shows. Since conception their live show has caused a quick buzz as they have been asked to open for Pepper, Passafire, The Wailers and many more gracing many different venues.

ROOTDOWN's music falls into the “pop/rock/reggae” category of band and genre, a well-developed musical culture with roots stretching back to the early days of Bob Marley, through the years of Sublime, and into today with many different bands spearheading the direction like Pepper and Slightly Stoopid. Think Beastie Boys meets Beach Boys.

They self-produced their new CD "Summer Of Love" on their own label (Ocean Ave Records) with the help of some friends back in Nashville, TN. It features five songs including a crowd favorite "Burrito Boy" an ode to their favorite mexican restaurant in Eugene. Another song that is featured on the CD is "Taking Over Me". It's a song about a boy who grew up in a broken home only to repeat the same mistakes of his Father until he finds himself being taken over by a love that has the power to transform.

Rootdown released their first self-titled EP, recorded in Los Angeles, in 2007 featuring songs like "Don't Walk Away" and "Real Love".
