About the Name

The 45 revolutionized the music scene, sparking a wave of innovative creators and daring rule-breakers, each delivering meticulously crafted hits that left a mark.

Similarly, in Indianapolis, streetcar 45 transformed urban mobility. As the inaugural line connecting downtown to Broad Ripple, it deposited passengers right at the doorstep of the iconic Vogue Theatre.

Both in sound and transit, the name "forty five" has been a symbol of connection for generations—uniting people in significant ways.

Embodying this tradition, Forty5 Presents is dedicated to gathering communities and celebrating shared experiences.
