At the intersection of rock riffs and folk songwriting, you find The Takes, a new indie rock group hailing  from Portland, Oregon. The band – comprised of Sumner Rahr, Fritz Frerichs, Guido Rahr, and Phoebe  Webb – weaves emotion and escapism through their songs, all while sticking to the roots of rock. Songs  like “River Stones,” which boasts over 500K career streams, pull rhythm from legendary inspirations like  Creedence Clearwater Revival and earnest songwriting from the likes of Noah Kahan.
