THE EAST POINTERS (CAN)
Fans of The East Pointers have Koady Chaisson to thank for being the kinetic force behind the JUNO-Award winning indie-folk trio since the group formed in 2014. The dancefloor-shaking, electro-trad glorious combination of folk/pop has brought so much joy to audiences around the world. Koady’s energetic fire continues to blaze the musical trail onward, and even though it’s two on the stage now, it’s still three in the band. Before Koad’s passing, he, Tim Chaisson, and Jake Charron had recorded most of the tracks for two new EPs as well as a bunch of riffs and ideas that Tim and Jake continue to incorporate into their new work. Unlike any of The East Pointers’ material to date, these precious songs are shiny and melodic, nostalgia-flared, folk experimental pop but with the same driving trad hooks for which the band has become known and revered.
