Based out of Albany, NY, the getdown have emerged as one of the area’s most engaging original bands. Working from their eclectic take on funk/soul/neo-R&B; music, the getdown serve up a unique collection of imaginative, groove-heavy songs. Performances by the group are fueled by head-bobbin’ beats, tight instrumental interplay, and soulful, melodic vocals. The group’s old and new school influences certainly shine through, but the getdown sound remains distinctively their own.

Based out of Albany, NY, the getdown have emerged as one of the area’s most engaging original bands. Working from their eclectic take on funk/soul/neo-R&B; music, the getdown serve up a unique collection of imaginative, groove-heavy songs. Performances by the group are fueled by head-bobbin’ beats, tight instrumental interplay, and soulful, melodic vocals. The group’s old and new school influences certainly shine through, but the getdown sound remains distinctively their own. A typical set by the group features hooky, Maroon 5-esque funk/rock (Bodylove, 13 Blocks Away), propulsive, neo-disco ass shakers (Rays of Sunshine), and thick, wah-drenched R&B; (Yours Tonight, My Brother). The getdown deliver it all with the passion and sincerity that comes from knowing what you are and what you do. Catch the next live show with the getdown and find out what all the funk is about.
