Neil Osborne


It was originally billed as a Neil Osborne solo show, and wow what a surprise, Neil’s brother Dave Osborne joined in on piano, Sax and electric and Kandle, Neil’s daughter offered some stellar backing vocals. There are so many unforgettable moments in this show, great stories and songs in front of a thirsty crowd. Well worth checking out the On Demand show,

As lead singer and chief songwriter of 54•40, Neil Osborne has achieved critical acclaim, released more than a dozen albums and weathered the fickle music business for more than four decades. He is known primarily as a rock musician but is also an accomplished producer often taking the production reins of 54•40 albums and is also a songwriter of amazing depth and clarity.

As a songwriter Osborne has penned such fabulous signature 54•40 songs as ‘I Go Blind’One Day In Your LifeOne Gun’, ‘Since When’ and ‘Ocean Pearl’’ which have crossed from the realm of rock to a broader base. The aforementioned I Go Blind was inducted to the Canadian Songwriter Hall of Fame earlier this year. His lyrics range from the most politically astute observation to the most innocent love song and everything in between.

Neil Osborne has been very active participant in the overall production of every 54•40 album. Osborne has produced several albums for other artists, most notably the award winning Small Glories, Cara Luft, Vince Vaccaro, Hearts and Wires, Paloma, Jets OverheadKandle (his daughter). Neil is currently wrapping up release plans for one of his side projects A Family Curse and during the Covid lock down he released the limited edition double vinyl (only) release of Niz Wiz. Nizwiz.us
