Banners 2023 Presents: Six Hearts: Vishtèn/The East Pointers

Behind this glorious fusion of Celtic and Acadian music with an edge of rock and roll, lies a story of the healing power of music. One a year ago, these musicians were members of two separate groups, Vishtèn and The East Pointers, who often played together and were both scheduled to be part of the 2023 Banners Series. Then each group lost a member to death. The remaining four found comfort in hanging out and playing together – and they soon realized that they had created something great through the spellbinding power of music’s healing: Four hearts converging in mesmerizing contemporary traditional music, strengthened by the two hearts that remain with them in spirit, are now Six Hearts.
