 I have worked with the Take One Band on several occasions.  They are always professional, and are a pleasure to work with.  Their energy, talent and enthusiasm have made them popular with my clients, and I have received many positive comments about their performances.  I recommend this band to anyone interested in getting people up and dancing. Ken Graff 

On August 13th 2008, Take One band got invited to play the Space Needle's VIP Party.  This party was hosted by the Space Needle itself for their premier VIP clients.  Of all of the bands that the Space Needle uses, Take One was the only band invited to play this event.

Take One is excited to have Shel join as our new male front line vocalist.  Shel is an awesome vocalist and we are happy he joined us!Seattle native Shel Van Taylor is a high energy artist who loves to express through music. After going through the normal garage band learning process, Shel, playing Guitar, formed and performed with the Substitutes an original/cover band in Seattle from 1988-1993. The Substitutes released one full length album in 1992 and toured extensively. Shel wrote all the songs on the album. The Substitutes opened and played with the likes of The Romantics – Paul Collins Beat – The Rangehoods – The Eagertones –Elvin Bishop – Randy Hansen – Nazareth – and many many more….Shel then moved on to form and perform in Model 29, a Seattle based Power trio. Shel fronted the band, and played all guitars. Model 29 was a high energy band that created quite a buzz in the industry. Model 29 was part of the Grunge scene in the mid 90’s, rehearsed at Naf Studios, and the guys hung out with bands such as Alice in Chains – Soundgarden – Mudhoney – My Sisters Machine – Tad – Zeke – Blues Traveler and again many more…. Wild Zombie Birdhouse was the next venture. WZB released 1 EP on Macrotrack records named Tweet. Shel wrote, sang and played all instruments on this EP except for drums. Shel now works exclusively with the Take One Band and continues to record and do Video Projects.

Take One's charisma and fresh approach to the cover band formula makes them a TOP pick for 2009!   

 I have been working with Take 1 for about 10 months now and have found the entire group to be extremely professional, well organized and punctual. The band always brings an upbeat positive show to our bar/restaurant and does a great job of self promotion. I would truly encourage anyone that wants to build their entertainment business or just throw a great party to get these guy’s on board A.S.A.P  Justice IsraelGeneral Manager and V.P of operations0/8 Seafood grill, Twisted Cork Wine Bar, 

Take One is pleased to annouce the very taleneted and beautifull Tine Hart who will be fronting the band moving forward. Tina’s father was the highly talented and well known music teacher, Roland Schanzenbach who raised her with a rich musical background from a very young age. Tina learned to play several instruments and sang all through school winning multiple awards. She went on to become a member of an original band called Exposure in the early 80's which produced over 110 original songs and did showcases for major labels including Columbia Records. She has continued to sing in the Northwest professionally in such bands as Chain Reaction, 80sINC, Rockshow and most recently Soul'd Out, covering everything from hip-hop to arena rock. Tina is a gifted and talented vocalist who with her dance energy on stage will soar to new heights!
