New England Celtic Arts will present The East Pointers from Prince Edward Island at Route 27 Arts in Stratton Tuesday, Aug. 23; at One Longfellow Square in Portland Wednesday, Aug. 24; and at North Church Concerts with the Farmington Historical Society Thursday, Aug. 25.

All shows begin at 7 p.m.

“Secret Victory,” the group’s first full-length album, could easily stand beside any recording from any era in the illustrious Celtic/folk musical canon. It features 10 new original tracks written by guitarist Jake Charron, fiddler Tim Chaisson and his cousin, banjoist Koady Chaisson.

The East Pointers unwrap new possibilities in a musical style that dates back centuries yet is still relevant on multiple, divergent continents.

“That’s something The East Pointers are trying to accomplish – breathe some new, original life into traditional music,” said Tim, whose solo career as a singer/songwriter is thoroughly established. “A lot of times, people think of it as music for an older generation but we’re hoping to introduce a whole new generation of listeners.”
