Pickathon Presents
The Takes with The Lowtimers

  • The Takes

    Folk Rock

    At the intersection of rock riffs and earnest songwriting, you
    find The Takes, a folk-rock group hailing from Portland, Oregon. The band –
    composed of Sumner Rahr (guitar/vocals), Guido Rahr (guitar), and Phoebe
    Webb (bass) – weaves emotion and escapism through their songs, all while
    sticking to the roots of rock. On their 2024 EP ‘Lay Hold’ The Takes delved
    further into their country/blues rock tendencies, led by Sumner’s raw vocals
    and backdropped by an organic four-piece sound of guitar, drums and bass.
    This era brought the band debut sets at Bonnaroo, BottleRock, Extra Innings
    Fest, and on two US headline tours, including sold out dates in NYC (Mercury
    Lounge), Chicago and Colorado Springs. Summer 2025 saw The Takes
    release anthemic, summery single “Take My Time”, produced by Jon Gilbert
    (Mt. Joy, Flipturn, Adam Melchor). The Takes are flipping to their next
    chapter with their third EP ‘Uprooting Roses’ produced with David Baron (The
    Lumineers, Michael Marcagi, Matt Maeson) out May 1, 2026. It coincides with
    dates supporting The Runarounds across the US and sets at Treefort Fest,
    Calgary Stampede, and more. With over 3.5 million career streams and past
    support slots alongside Houndmouth, Wilderado, Briscoe, and Penelope
    Road, The Takes are creating music for the moment and community -
    wherever in the country that happens to be.

  • The Lowtimers

    Americana

    Evolution may leave a lot on the cutting room floor, but it always preserves what is essential—not just for survival, but for the self.

    ​

    For nearly a decade, two dueling guitarists and songwriters, Austin Smith and Mark Tegio, built the backbone of their namesake outfit, honing their hard-worn Americana songwriting. Their music shaped by years of troubadouring up and down I-5, from San Diego to Seattle.

    ​

    Over time, their sound evolved from its more folk roots, inspired by the likes of Doc & Merle Watson and their guitar interplay, as well as mining the lines left by Townes Van Zandt and Blaze Foley, trying to learn the lessons those broken heroes left behind. As Smith and Tegio split their time between Portland and Santa Cruz, a new crew of musicians entered the Central California mix, expanding their sound in ways the duo perhaps didn’t know they needed—until they knew they did.

    ​

    Enter The Lowtimers. This new 5-piece band—Tegio (guitar and vocals), Smith (guitar, vocals and harmonica), Tim Kelso (drums), Andrew Dreher (bass and harmonies), and Payton Vermeesch (pedal steel)—remain rooted in soulful Americana, but they now lay it over a new sonic landscape, injecting fresh empathy and drive into songs that paint wise western portraits of lives and loves on the road to redemption, where the goal is less about prosperity and more about peace of mind.

    We may remember the past, but we should never forget what the future may hold. To be open and honest with art, it’s evolve or creatively die. And often, evolution delivers an entirely new animal.

    ​

    Their debut album Cracks is set to be released on May 16th.
