The Takes are a Portland, Oregon folk-rock trio where sturdy guitar-driven riffs meet heartfelt songwriting. Sumner Rahr (guitar, vocals), Guido Rahr (guitar), and Phoebe Webb (bass) craft songs that balance feeling and escape while staying rooted in rock tradition.

That momentum carried them to debut sets at Bonnaroo, BottleRock, and Extra Innings Fest, as well as two headline runs across the United States with sellouts in New York City at Mercury Lounge, Chicago, and Colorado Springs. They followed with the bright single Take My Time produced by Jon Gilbert and turned the page with a third EP, Uprooting Roses, created with producer David Baron, paired with support dates for The Runarounds and appearances at Treefort Fest and Calgary Stampede. With millions of streams and past support slots for Houndmouth, Wilderado, Briscoe, and Penelope Road, they continue to build a community around songs made for right now.

His performances blend lively arrangements, witty storytelling, and spontaneous improvisation, delivering sunny grooves and a sound that nods to classic influences while feeling fresh.
