Pointing to the East at Tanks Arts
WITH a new heartfelt track, Canadian folk-band The East Pointers head north for a show at the Tanks Arts Centre in March with a heartwarming and uplifting show celebrating their late bandmate Koady Chaisson.
Following two difficult years after the death of bandmate and close friend Koady Chaisson, The East Pointers have welcomed 2025 with a beautiful EP titled ‘Anniversary’ with its homonymous title track written in honour of Mr Chaisson.
The duo will head to Australia in early 2025 for a set of festivals and headline dates between February and March, arriving in Cairns at the end of their tour on March 22 at the Tanks.
After announcing the pending arrival of the new single back on December 4, marking what would have been the 40th birthday of dearly departed band member Mr Chaisson, The East Pointers – made up of Tim Chaisson and Jake Charron – remember him now with a sincere and loving song.
“When Jake and I sat down to write, ‘Anniversary’ was the first song that came out – it was as if Koady was in the room with us, it flowed so fast,” Tim Chaisson said.
“We want this song to give anybody permission to give themselves a pat on the back for any of the wins or positive changes in their life," he said.
“A celebration you continue to honour, especially when times get tough.”
For Mr Charron ‘Anniversary’ represents new beginnings and an acknowledgment of the decisions we make to change our lives for the better.
