The Takes

The Takes is a western rock group based out of Portland, Oregon. The group consists of Sumner Rahr (guitar and vocals), Fritz Frerichs (drums), Phoebe Webb (bass), and Guido Rahr (guitar) Taking inspiration from Pink Floyd, The Doors, and The Black Keys, their debut EP High Lonesome journeys through emotion, solace, and escape - all while sticking to their classic rock roots. The Takes' mission is simple: bring back rock... especially to younger generations. An emotional year was channeled into Sumner's writing and Fritz' drumming, creating the cohesivity of intricate tracks like "I-84" and "Desert Mind". The versatile vocals of "Moment" and "Dive" give life to the EP, while the irresistibly catchy "High Lonesome" brings it home. A truly multifaceted work was born - and it's just the beginning for The Takes.
