The East Pointers Schoonertown Tour with Special Guest Michaela Slinger
Live at Song Sparrow Hall
When: Saturday, October 17, 2026
Doors: 7:00 pm | Show: 8:00 pm
The Salmon Arm Folks Music Society is proud to present THE EAST POINTERS with special guest Michaela Slinger on Saturday, October 17, 2026 at Song Sparrow Hall, Salmon Arm BC,
Already internationally acknowledged as musical trailblazers, on their newest offering, Schoonertown, released January 23, 2026, The East Pointers have come home. Equal parts origin story and statement of craft, Schoonertown captures the moments that shaped their youth: nights out with the boys, the dizzy romance of first love, sprawling families and small towns, two weeks on in a bleak winter, kitchen parties and vinyl records and tape decks, every mistake, every late night, every long drive, and laughing until you can’t breathe.
The East Pointers have cemented their place as a defining voice in contemporary folk music. Their music, streamed millions of times over each month, has been featured on television, film, and broadcast, and their acoustic performances on social media have been shared by the likes of Ed Sheeran and Mumford & Sons. They regularly light up stages across Australia, Japan, the UK, Europe, Mexico, New Zealand, the USA, and Canada, and each fall they bring that energy back home to Prince Edward Island, where they host Goolaholla!, a festival celebrating music, community, and the spirit of the East Coast.
Special Guest Michaela SlingerÂ
To say Vancouver’s Michaela Slinger punches above her weight is an understatement. As one of North America’s most exciting rising singer-songwriters her latest independent record Green and Trying marks a shift toward herself-described “Laurel Canyon era” where Michaela’s poignant lyricism cuts straight to the heart, like the part of the dinner party where the food’s gone, the wine’s low, wax is dripping from candles onto the table, and everyone’s wrapped up in intimate conversations—some laughter, some tears, but space for connection with everyone.
