The East Pointers have always sounded like a band in motion — part East Coast kitchen party, part modern folk mutiny, part euphoric late-night release. On Schoonertown, released January 23, 2026, the JUNO-winning group turns that energy inward and comes back with something bigger: a record that feels like memory with a pulse. The album pulls from the raw material of youth — small towns, first loves, long drives, kitchen parties, bad decisions, ambition, boredom, laughter, and the beautiful mess of growing up — and shapes it into a vivid, high-energy set that is both origin story and declaration of intent. Since breaking through with Secret Victory, which won the 2017 JUNO Award for Traditional Roots Album of the Year, The East Pointers have evolved into one of Canada’s most distinctive modern folk acts, blending trad instincts with pop lift and dance-floor momentum. Now led by Tim Chaisson and Jake Charron, the band continues to carry that spirit around the world — from Canada to the UK, Europe, Australia, Japan, Mexico, New Zealand, and beyond — while bringing it home each fall to PEI for Goolaholla!, their festival celebrating music, community, and East Coast heart.
