Artist bio
Big Wreck was formed in Boston in the mid-90’s. Their 1997 debut album, In Loving Memory Of…, is certified double platinum in Canada and featured the chart topping singles “Blown Wide Open,” “That Song” and “The Oaf”. In 2002, the band broke up following the release of their sophomore album, The Pleasure and The Greed, after which Ian Thornley formed the band Thornley who also enjoyed rock radio success with several singles. Their first single as a reunited Big Wreck, “Albatross,” became the band’s first #1 single at Rock radio in Canada. Since then, they have released three new Big Wreck albums (Albatross – 2012; Ghosts – 2014; Grace Street – 2017). In the winter of 2018 Big Wreck began recording their sixth studio album with producer Eric Ratz.

What fans are saying
As always, Big Wreck did not disappoint. Ian Thornley’s vocals are second to none. This is equally matched by his guitar wizardry which unfortunately overshadows the brilliant playing of Chris Caddell. Gotta love when they both play the same solo, albeit at different octaves. The solid bass playing of Dave McMillian and thundering drum style of Sekou Lumumba fills out the tightest playing band you can find. Seen them 7 times over the years, with many more to come. Can’t wait until they start headlining their own tours - they were the stars of the show and easily the best band of the night. Props to Live and Econoline Crush, but Big Wreck is on another plane.
