Iconic Canadian band 54-40 was scheduled for an unplugged and intimate show at the Tidemark Theatre Feb. 24, but due to illness, they had to cancel.
But there’s good news.
Anyone with tickets for the Feb. 24 show will have them honoured at the door when the band comes to town for their April 7 make-up date.
54-40 Unplugged: Songs & Stories is an intimate and re-imagining of 54-40’s greatest hits performed as you’ve never heard them before. Featuring original arrangements of violin, guitar, banjo, mandolin and more this performance gives new context and spirit to classic songs fans all know and love. In between songs the band engages with the audience sharing stories from their 30+ years together as a band. In January 2016 they released La Difference: A History Unplugged that feature 10 of their greatest hits recorded as never heard them before.
54-40 has an unbelievable catalogue of hit songs that they can pull from to include in their live performances. Songs such as Baby Ran, She La, Casual Viewin’, One Gun, Ocean Pearl, Love You All, Music Man, I Go Blind, One Day In Your Life, Radio Luv Song, Baby Have Some Faith, Miss You, Blame Your Parents, Easy to Love, Crossing a Canyon, Since When, Nice to Luv You, and Lies to Me.
In April of last year, the band was inducted twice into the Canadian Music Industry Hall of Fame at both The 17th Annual Independent Music Awards (The INDIES) and the Canadian Music and Broadcast Industry Awards.
