	METRO OTTAWA: 54-40 CELEBRATES LIFE AT 30 Posted: June 17, 2010 Known for songs including I Go Blind and Ocean Pearl, the B.C.-based band will be bringing its constantly evolving, yet timeless sounds to the stage at this weekend’s Tim Hortons Ottawa Dragon Boat Festival at Mooney’s Bay, where they will be performing as headliners Sunday.


	OTTAWA CITIZEN: NORTHERN SOUL MASTERS Posted: June 17, 2010 After 30 years together, B.C. alt-rockers 54-40 have become more like a polished stone than a diamond in the rough. Founders Neil Osborne and Brad Merritt have known the diamond period, but they've endured much more. They've come through the new wave (and whatever resistance that tossed up), been with an American label, had success with a major Canadian label, set up their own label, gone independent. The band plays Ottawa's Dragon Boat Festival this weekend.
