The East Pointers
Young Celtic hotshots, The East Pointers are a trio from Prince Edward Island, on Canada’s east coast, who mix stomping rhythms and virtuoso instrumental work. Over the last few years, their dazzling musicianship and wildly entertaining live shows have connected them with audiences right across the globe. Fiddler/singer Tim Chaisson and his banjo-playing cousin, Koady Chaisson, come from a family who have been musicians for seven generations. The duo are remarkable for writing songs that rework their Scottish and Irish influences, and they specialize in instrumentals that sound like tuneful Celtic standards, with banjo and fiddle both taking the lead. It’s all driven on by DIY foot percussion and guitar backing from Jake Charron.
