We originated in Salem near Youngstown, OH. Youngstown is a dying city and a certain dull shade of depression is in the air there. It permeates the music creating an atmosphere where grunge, metal, and classic rock like Pink Floyd and Springsteen find an ever-welcoming home. The heart of rock is the blues. Youngstown has the blues. Youngstown taught us to rock. We owe everything to the lessons that area taught us.
But then we went to school at Ohio University. OU was all about partying (and the occasional class and all night study session). We had the opportunity to play such infamous shows like Halloween, PalmerFest, ThreeFest/FourFest, etc. We honed our partying skills and abilities to entertain a crowd. OU really taught us the fun side of things, so much so that it became a part of us and our music as well.
The mixture of these two incredibly different characteristics is the simplified explanation of what Downplay is, why we sound the way we now do, and why we have so much damn fun doing it.

Downplay is playing shows all over the state of Ohio and doesn't plan to stop any time in the future, so if you live in Ohio, chances are we will be playing near you soon, so check us out!

Do you have all your show dates listed above. Still wanting to see ya but didn't really want to wait that long! I also found and bought both your cd's. Nice!
Hello Dustin, I am glad you like the stuff. I really like your guys music! Keep in touch for possible sponsorship. I would like to get your stuff on our radio we are in the process of launching. ~Ray
We are also looking for an experienced individual to coordinate and supervise the events we book for the SEG guys and gals.
Guys & Gals!! Anyone is eligible (no experience required). Shots are up to the photographer and will most likely fit the month it is being shot for. Please send in a photo (doesn't have to be professional photos, any will do) and a brief bio of yourself and what you would like us to know.
The band calendar is to help promote local established bands that play the spfld-dayton area (if we don't accept enough from the local area, then we will pull from the region). Each month will display a different band and their info. To be considered, please send a band photo, and bio to:
Springfield Entertainment Group PO BOX 2367 spfld, oh 45501 (937)323-4160 ceharris0109@aol.com
We have a panel of 5 members (myself, local radio station rep, news-sun rep, photographer, local bar owner) that will choose which bands will be featured in the calendar.
If you're a bar owner, entertainment venue, band, comedian, entertainer, or anyone that has upcoming events in 2010 and would like to have them printed in our calendars or place an ad in the calendars, please get in touch asap. Deadline to go the printer is just about here.
Awesome show at Stooges this past weekend! Did you say you were coming back the night before Thanksgiving? And, one more thing, where can I get a cd of your older stuff? I love your stuff and can't find anyone I know with your first cd.
