Founded in 2003, Chronicle took root in the country of Costa Rica with Brian Reiter
and TJ Boeschen at the creative helm. After exploring their passion for music
during their early teenage years in Portland, Oregon, Brian and TJ set out to
realize their dream of cultural enlightenment by pursuing their music in a new
and inspiring environment. With a couple of airline tickets, a guitar & a
microphone they hopped a flight to Puerto Viejo, Costa Rica.
Forming the original band, "Root Down", by melding together a fresh
mix of roots reggae, heartfelt soul and heavy hittin' funk, they traveled throughout
the country performing their danceable rhythms for international tourists and
enthusiastic locals. Brian & TJ soon realized the potential of an ever-expanding
fan base inspired by their charismatic and energetic performances. After a year
of performing live in Costa Rica they were presented with the experience of
a lifetime... an opportunity to fly to Ocho Rios, Jamaica and record their first
album. With their first CD, "Feel This One", under their belt it was
now time for a name change and a move back to the states to assemble a new crew.
By early 2006 Chronicle stormed the Portland scene with highly emotional performances
at such venues as The White Eagle, The Bitter End Pub, The Goodfoot, Lola's Room
and the Ratskeller. Not only is their musicianship outstanding and their live
performances top notch, as individuals, they are truly sincere and uplifting people.
Quote...
It is said that "nothing is done before its time" and it is indeed Chronicle's
time to shine by sharing their hypnotically rhythmic sound and conscious ideals
of wisdom. With their vibrant mix of Roots Reggae and Soulful Funk, Chronicle
pays tribute to James Brown, Stevie Wonder, Sly Stone, Toots and of course the
father of roots reggae, Mr. Bob Marley.
