From smooth and catchy to a full-tilt rock and roll riot!

The 45s are a 50s and 60s cover band trio playing hot hits, cool B-sides and special deep cuts from the birth of rock'n'roll to the golden classics of R&B to the rise of garage rock. Here's where it all came from!

The 45s features Jak Locke on vocals / guitar / piano, Trina Storm on bass / vocals, and alternately Gordon Valentine or Osvaldo Briceno on drums / vocals, bringing a high-octane retro experience to stages across the region since September 2018!
