At the intersection of rock riffs and folk songwriting, you find The Takes, a new indie rock group hailing from Portland, Oregon. The band – composed 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. On their 2024 EP ‘Lay Hold,’ the band pulls rhythm from legendary inspirations like Creedence Clearwater Revival and earnest songwriting from the likes of Noah Kahan. With over 1 million career streams and counting, The Takes are creating music for the moment and community wherever they happen to be.

Alasdair MacKenzie, Chris Haley, and Liz Kantor formed Hush Club after finding each other in college.  Now, they are based in Somerville, MA, making lush, melodic, and propulsive indie rock that examines the nuances of our shared human experience.  WBUR describes Hush Club’s music as “groovy, swaying tunes with catchy guitar riffs and melodies about falling in and out of love.”  Their latest single, “Violet Cure,” explores the liberation and sensual thrill of new love over an irresistible beat.

In 2024, Hush Club sold out headlining shows at the Sinclair in Cambridge, MA and Brighton Music Hall in Boston, MA and toured the northeastern US.  The band has beenfeatured twice inThe Boston Globe  and been nominated twice for the Boston Music Awards (Album/EP of the Year and Folk Artist of the Year).  Hush Club has opened for national and international touring acts including Melt, Michael Seyer, Hermitage Green, Juice, French Cassettes, Wabie, and Will Leet (of Sammy Rae & the Friends), and the band’s music has been praised by Under the Radar, Glide MagazineVanyaland, and Boston Hassle, in addition to the WBUR writeup quoted above.  Fingerprints & Stains also received extensive airplay on college radio, charting as the #5 debut on the NACC 200 in its first week and staying on the chart for three weeks.
