Dave Genn of 54-40 on Joining a Legacy Band, Longevity, and New Album PORTO

Dave Genn of legendary Canadian rock band 54-40 joins Meet Me For Coffee for a thoughtful conversation about longevity, creativity, and what it takes to keep making meaningful music in an ever-changing industry.


While 54-40 formed in 1981 in Tsawwassen, British Columbia, Dave has been a member of the band since 2003, contributing to its modern era and ongoing evolution. In this episode, Dave reflects on joining an already-established band, navigating legacy while continuing to push creatively, and the mindset required to stay inspired over decades of music-making.


We also talk about 54-40’s upcoming album PORTO, a record that represents renewal, reflection, and the band’s continued commitment to honest songwriting and artistic growth. From adapting to industry shifts to honoring the past without being trapped by it, this conversation explores why 54-40 continue to resonate with audiences today.


☕ Grab a coffee and enjoy a deeper conversation.
