Over the course of 40+ years of performing and recording, 54•40 has not only made their mark on the Canadian music industry, but the entire cultural landscape. Led by Neil Osborne with members Brad Merritt, Matt Johnson, Dave Genn & David Osborne, 54•40 has carved a legacy of gold and platinum albums. With decades of hit songs, the secret to 54-40’s longevity is their ability to reinvent themselves in the music industry.  A 54•40 concert experience gives an understanding of how their songs have touched, inspired, and changed people’s lives. For those who have followed the band from their humble beginnings in East Vancouver to younger fans that are just discovering the band’s originality, 54•40 shows are extraordinary affairs that bridge gaps between generations through a shared love of music. Their most recent album is titled West Coast Band recorded during the COVID-19 pandemic. Having come through the hardship with a sense of unity, the album celebrates the common history they share as band members.
