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.
