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. And now, even posthumously, Koady’s energetic fire continues to blaze the musical trail onward. It was on January 6, 2022 that Koady Chaisson of The East Pointers passed away from an unexpected heart aneurysm at 37. Those who were lucky to have been influenced by his creative and generous soul felt like a black hole had suddenly formed where the supernova of Koady’s light had been. But before his passing, Koady (banjo, tenor guitar, keyboards), Tim Chaisson (vocals, fiddle, percussion) and Jake Charron (guitar, keyboards), had recorded a couple of tracks including "Goolaholla", which is an instrumental track, grounded in the band's original folk roots. “Koady would be pissed if we didn’t get these songs out to the world,” Tim admits, talking fondly about his cousin. “We can still feel Koady’s excitement about the new songs and that’s what continues to drive this band forward,” adds Jake.
