TAKEN is the culmination of years of songwriting and subesquent production work by baltimore native JIM BENSON (songwriter, guitarist, and back ground vocalist) with the help of lead vocalist David Erickson and keyboardist/ guitarist/6-string bass DAVE BEAHM. The full Taken line-up now includes, bassist RY RY BOOTH and drummer MATT SUTPHIN (SUTTY). BENSON was able to hand-build a recording studio as an addition to his home. Here countless hours and days have been spent carefully crafting powerfully melodic songs that catch your attention and never let go. A mix between alternative, acoustic and pop rock,Taken's live show captivates audiences with emotional vocals and intense rhythms. Taken has developed a songwriting style that is unique and thought provoking. songs like "THE FIFTH YEAR" and "WITHOUT A SOUND" have quickly become crowd favorites. Taken has shared the stage with such bands as, LOVE SEED MAMA JUMP and Jimmies Chicken Shack at the Recher Theatre in Towson, MD, VH1's FLICKERSTIK at local hot spot Fletcher's Bar, ATLANTIC RECORDS recording artist HALESTORM at Whiskey Dix saloon in Philadelphia, PA.
