Token Rhyme
Token Rhyme is a song-driven acoustic/electric ensemble playing music distilled and inspired by a wide palette of Americana country-blues, and modern rootsy-folk. The long-standing songwriting (and life) partnership of Tracy and Sean Schonfeld, with Tracy’s dynamic vocal delivery, aims to connect with audiences through a balance of lyric integrity and understated instrumental support. The band (Will Firstbrook on guitar, bassist James Sanders, and John Laird on mandolin and acoustic lap steel) has a relaxed, unforced chemistry, and truly values the privilege of playing together. While equally at home on big, open-air festival stages, the group is perhaps even more persuasive in intimate, lower volume settings, and are looking forward to entertaining the SFG audience. Expect to hear original songs, including tracks from their debut cd “Nothing Is Sacred”, with a nod to tradition and classy modern “chamber folk”covers. (Province CD review -- "inventive playing by the band...Tracy Schonfeld frequently instills her songs with forceful phrasing" -- Tom Harrison (Quick Spins, Aug 20, 2010).

Jon Pfaff
A classically trained musician, Jon Pfaff has conducted choirs, sung in major choral programs, a few operas, a few musicals (one long summer in “Guys and Dolls”), and The St. Augustine Singers of St. Marks Cathedral in Seattle, who present Compline (the final monastic order of service of the early centuries) which is broadcast and streamed each Sunday at 9:30 PM on KING-FM. Founder of “The Talismen Trio” in the early 1960s, “The Runcible Spoon” in the late 1990s (2 men, 1 woman plus an arm-gartered pianist, specializing in works from the 1880s British Music Hall), he was also the flounder and so-called leader (without hook attached) of the Halibutts, a male trio performing music of sea and fish. Often referred to as the Halibutt-head (the other members being the left and right cheeks) Jon casts a wide musical net, as he was also a member of the Vancouver (Canada) Folk Song Society Shanty Crew, who performed with acclaim at the 2001 Tall Ships Festival in Vancouver. Finally, Jon has produced several musical stages for the Northwest Folklife Festival over the years, including 4 years of Historical Songs of the Pacific Northwest.
