54-40

5 concerts

Vancouver's 54-40, a key figure in Canada's alt-rock scene, formed in 1981. They're renowned for tracks like "Ocean Pearl" and "Nice to Luv You," with albums like *Show Me* and *Smilin' Buddha Cabaret* earning platinum. Led by Neil Osborne, they evolved from jangling folk-rock to a harder sound. Collaborating eventually with Dave Genn, they've sustained a cherished legacy, highlighted by hits and innovatively revisiting their catalog with acoustic adaptations.
