1951

The year the term "rock and roll" was coined. 1951 (pronounced "Nineteen Fifty One") was initially started as a studio project by producer Dan Hosh & songwriter Mike Tudisco. With the release of "The Light That Went Away" (2011) the band quickly began touring across Southern Ontario, winning over audiences with their own brand of atmospheric indie rock. When the band took a hiatus to work on their sophomore release, 1951 enlisted Mario Da Silva (Lead Vocals/Guitar) and Kevin Dennison (Guitar) to edge out a fresh perspective on their new record. In 2013, all four members of the group re-located to Toronto, Ontario to put more focus on the band. "The best and worst part about 1951 is that every member of the band is a songwriter," recounts Hosh. "We always have a daunting mountain of songs waiting for us. Living together allowed us to write songs more efficiently." 1951 is currently touring their latest EP "New Doors" (2014) recorded at Catherine North Studios in Hamilton ON.
