The Root Down

The Root Down Rehearsal & pre-pro facility stocked with good vibes. Come here to listen, create, record, rehearse

Seeing a void in Toronto for an amazing multi-use rehearsal space, we partnered with Arts & Crafts, Slaight Music, Universal Music Canada and other passionate Toronto entrepreneurs to build it. We have a large, clean & comfortable space to play, think, create and bond. The versatile room features built-in trifusers to tune the room on the fly. So, whether you're solo on a uke or if you have a 10 p

iece full electric band, you'll always sound the best. We want to be your go-to spot to hone your tone, find your music family, record, film & jam out. Our inventory of high-end and vintage gear is tuned and ready for you to use. We also have the creature comforts needed when you take a break! Check out our lounge with cable TV, video games, free WiFi, a private patio and a kitchenette stocked with snacks and drinks. Maybe you need to host a meeting & listen to some tunes with your staff? We can hook you up to the projector in the main room and we'll handle getting the catering for you. We take great care in having a welcoming and positive environment for everyone. Our staff is here to coordinate your session, set up your gear and provide the tools you need to make amazing music.

Recently, our very own Julien Laferrière was out west as the playback engineer for Canadian legends Marianas Trench for their Calgary Stampede show! 🎚🤩 Julien is a playback and monitor engineer and whenever you're at The Root Down you can always count on him to answer questions and help you tighten up your playback mixes!
🎤 It's so great to know that more live music is [hopefully] around the corner... 🥰 come on in and get back to rehearsing with us, we're glad to be filling The Root Down with music again 👋

Over the last few years we've had the honour of having BAD CHILD rehearse and work out of The Root Down fairly regularly. It's been so exciting to watch such an incredible artistic voice flourish and grow, and we're so thrilled that his debut full-length album "Free Trial" is out in just 3 days! Congrats BAD CHILD and everyone involved.. as you can see from this video, so much care and thought has gone into the release. You can preorder the vinyl (and CD) at badchildsound.com :) Don't sleep on this incredible talent!
