Two of Prince Edward Island’s most well-known traditional groups experienced staggering losses in 2022: Vishtèn, with the loss of Pastelle LeBlanc, twin sister of Emmanuelle LeBlanc and wife of Pascal Miousse, who together made up the treasured Juno Award nominated Acadian trio; and The East Pointers, with the loss of Koady Chaisson, cousin to Tim Chaisson and dear friend to Jake Charron, who together made up the powerhouse Juno Award winning PEI traditional trio.
After their heart-wrenching losses occurred, Emmanuelle, Pascal, Jake and Tim came together to play some music with each other, resulting in a dazzling fusion of Acadian fiddle, whistle, percussion and singing combining with eastern PEI trad fiddle, guitar, piano, and vocals, merging as a unique and captivating blend of East Coast contemporary and traditional music, strengthened by the two hearts that remain with them in spirit.
