54·40 Signs With True North Records
54·40 recently signed with True North Records, Canada's longest running independent music label. The new full-length album Yes To Everything is 54·40's 11th full-length studio recording.
Both produced and mixed by Warne Livesey at Bryan Adam's The Warehouse Studio and 54·40's studio The Smilin' Buddha Enjoyment Complex in Vancouver. Warne Livesey is known for his work with artists like The The, Midnight Oil, and Matthew Good.
In addition to the release of their new album, 54·40 announced that guitarist Dave Genn is now officially a permanent member of the group. Phil Comparelli, longtime band-mate and good friend, passed the axe to Dave and gave his blessing.
Dave Genn is best known for his years spent with the Matthew Good Band. From 1995 to 2001 he played guitar, keyboards, and co-wrote many of the Matthew Good Band's hit songs. His resume reads as long as his guitar.
Genn's first Juno award was received for playing/co-writing with punk legend Art Bergmann for 'What Fresh Hell is This?'. Genn has been playing live shows with 54·40 for two years and played guitar and co-wrote on the new release.
54·40 has penned such international classic as "I Go Blind," "Ocean Pearl" and "Baby Ran." The band is comprised of Neil Osborne, Dave Genn, Matt Johnson, and Brad Merritt.
