3 Doors Down is a band formed in Escatawpa, Mississippi in 1994 by Brad Arnold (vocals and drums), Matt Roberts (guitar) and Todd Harrell (bass).The band signed to Universal Records after the success of their song "Kryptonite". The band has since sold well over 12 million albums since their debut album, The Better Life, was released in 2000. They perform more than 300 concerts a year.

Brad Arnold is the vocalist for the band and played the drums on the studio recording of their album The Better Life. He started singing full time for the band after a concert where no one else would sing except for him and he ended up enjoying it.

The Better Life was released in 2000 and has since been certified 6x Platinum thanks to the hit singles, "Kryptonite", "Loser", and "Duck and Run". The song "Be Like That" was rerecorded for the 2001 film American Pie 2.

The band's second studio album, Away from the Sun, was released in 2002 and since been certified 4x Platinum in the United States . "Here Without You" and "When I'm Gone" proved to be the most successful singles from that album
Session drummer Josh Freese contributed drums for Away from the Sun. Also, Rush guitarist Alex Lifeson produced and played on 3 tracks for the record, "Dangerous Game", "Dead Love", and "Wasted Me" (only "Dangerous Game" appeared on the album).

The band's latest release, 2005's Seventeen Days, has since been certified Platinum. "Let Me Go" and "Behind Those Eyes" charted with the most success.

Greg Upchurch, formerly of Puddle of Mudd, is the drummer who replaced Daniel Adair in 2005. Adair left to be the drummer for Nickelback.

At a concert on June 6, 2007, 3 Doors Down performed two new songs, the first entitled "Put Me On A Train" has more of a blues-influenced feel to it, while the second song, "When It's Over", seems as though 3 Doors Down are going back to their original musical roots.
