MUSICIANS:
Popular band played
dance at The Belfry
Continued from page 3
Chaisson describes their
music as “upbeat, Celtic
folk; we don’t really play tra-
ditional music, but we have
elements of it, we write all
our own stuff and we just do
what we do,” said Chaisson.
The band has been tour-
ing consistently since Sisters
Folk Festival last year.
They’ve been all over the
world, from the UK, to Spain
to Australia.
“We discover new things
and new places every time
we go to a new place — we
try to experience as much as
we can,” said Chaisson.
They are in the process of
releasing their latest album,
“What We Leave Behind,”
which is out September 29.
They have released two sin-
gles, “Tanglewood” and “82
Fires.” They have included
82 Fires in their set for about
a year. As Chaisson noted
on their website: “While in
Penguin, Tasmania we spoke
with an older gentleman, a
lifelong resident, who said
that there were 82 wildfires
currently on the loose in
Tasmania, the most in over
half a century. It hit home the
severity of what we were all
experiencing. It was a restless
few days for us. Small human
decisions about where to live
or whether or not the show
would go on didn’t matter.
Mother Nature would always
have the final say. Being in
the middle of that brings an
immediacy about it, you can
feel powerless.”
82 Fires is a relevant song
to Sisters’ summer and the
status of the number of fires
burning across the state.
“The song is eerily rel-
evant to what is going on
here and the question of the
show going on or not,” said
Chaisson. “Many of the old-
growth forests burned down
(in Tasmania), and they have
six to seven years’ worth of
fires in one summer.”
“Tanglewood” is one they
have never performed live.
Jake Charron and Koady
Chaisson wrote the song.
“We start it as a slow ease
into our progressed sound
on this album, and then we
speed it up in the same key,
and then had a key change.
We wanted to give audiences
a glimpse of what this record
would sound like because it
is loads different than our
previous Secret Victory,” said
Chaisson. “We added a lot of
new and different sounds,
we have Jake Charron play-
ing the keys for us, and we
FEEL THE
F
E
FEAR
AND DO
IT
I ANYWAY!

“We hope to return to
Sisters soon and play for the
festival again when it actu-
ally happens, and we were
honored to be chosen to come
back,” said Chaisson.
They did manage to play
a set in a pop-up concert at
The Belfry over the weekend,
living up to their dance-band
reputation.
