Tofte is Americana and jazz, all tangled up and best enjoyed by a campfire. Listen to selected tracks here, or on Bandcamp.
Tofte, Abbey BlackwellSunset Tavern, Seattle, WA7:30pm, Wednesday 3/20/24
Led by Rachel Price, Tofte is a folk-inspired Americana band based out of Seattle, Washington. It is new music written and performed by jazz musicians who take pleasure in the simple things. Lead vocalist and songwriter Rachel Price drives the band with rich, sultry melodies supported by choral counterpoint. Evan Smith's woodwind melodies sing out alongside and around the vocals, playing in sweet duality with the baritone ukulele (Rachel Price), and charango (Rachel Price). Upright bass (Abbey Blackwell) and percussion (Evan Woodle) ground Tofte's soaring harmonies.
