The Salmon Arm Folks Music Society is proud to present THE EAST POINTERS on Saturday, October 17, 2026, at Song Sparrow Hall, Salmon Arm, BC,

JUNO Award-winners The East Pointers, Tim Chaisson (vocals/fiddle/percussion) and Jake Charron (guitar/keyboards), are innovators within the ever-evolving genre of modern folk, crafting a joy-conjuring, dancefloor-shaking, roof-rattling fusion of folk, pop, and dance music.

Already internationally acknowledged as musical trailblazers, on their newest offering, Schoonertown, released January 23, 2026, The East Pointers have come home. Equal parts origin story and statement of craft, Schoonertown captures the moments that shaped their youth: nights out with the boys, the dizzy romance of first love, sprawling families and small towns, two weeks on in a bleak winter, kitchen parties and vinyl records and tape decks, every mistake, every late night, every long drive, and laughing until you can’t breathe.

The East Pointers have cemented their place as a defining voice in contemporary folk music. Their music, streamed millions of times each month, has been featured on television, in film, and on broadcast, and their acoustic performances on social media have been shared by the likes of Ed Sheeran and Mumford & Sons. They regularly light up stages across Australia, Japan, the UK, Europe, Mexico, New Zealand, the USA, and Canada, and each fall, they bring that energy back home to Prince Edward Island, where they host Goolaholla!, a festival celebrating music, community, and the spirit of the East Coast.
