54*40 is: Neil Osborne, Brad Merritt, Matt Johnson & Dave Genn, one of the most important music groups to emerge from the Canadian cultural landscape.

Having recently celebrated its thirty-year anniversary, the band has an unbelievable catalogue of hit songs, including "Baby Ran", "Assoholic", "She-La", "Miss You", "I Go Blind" and "Ocean Pearl". Inspired by the punk/new music scene in Vancouver, 54-40 first performed in 1981 at the Smilin' Buddha Cabaret. Their outstanding reputation for live performance continues today.

After 30 years, 16 releases and more than 2000 performances, the secret to 54*40's longevity is their ability to redefine the band. From the MuchMusic video craze of the '90s to the new world of MP3s, 54-40 has embraced it all, even releasing their very own mobile phone app.

When asked about their track record Matt Johnson once commented, "one thing we hear consistently is 'I didn't know you guys had so many hits,' but we just consider ourselves songwriters. We enjoy the craft and whether we're trying to write an eight-minute epic or just a three-minute pop song, it's very enjoyable for us and we're not afraid to do either."

54*40 is the winner of The Western Canadian Music Awards - Hall Of Fame Award (2011) along with numerous other awards, and almost a dozen Top-10 hit singles. You do not want to miss this show!
