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.

The boys nailed it like they always do!! Played a few new tracks with some old favourites. They seemed pretty pumped for this show and we feel so blessed and fortunate that we were in town for this memorable experience. Our third time seeing Big Wreck, we met them four years ago in Halifax when Chuck and Brian (rest his soul 🙏🙏) were with them. This time, I met Sekou, and I can say all of these guys are humble, down to earth, everyday folks who are masters of their craft!
Long Wharf Bistro Saint John, NBBig Wreck put on an incredible concert!! They certainly didn't disappoint! I would definitely see them again if I get the chance. They played a variety of older & newer songs, and also threw in a Doobie Brothers song which was fun. The members of BW are very talented musicians and Ian Thornley is such an amazing guitarist, singer & songwriter. The Machine Shop was a also very nice venue for this concert. I hope Big Wreck comes back to SSM again because they are worth seeing!
The Machine Shop Sault Ste. Marie, ONMr Ian Thornley is Canada's greatest treasure! After seeing Big Wreck up close and personal April 2022 at Midway, this was a bit of a letdown. Bass was too low, vocals weren't loud enough and some of the song presentation was a bit weird. I think the glass in front of our seats was distorting the sound a bit as well. This was a bonus band for the night so glad I have seen them before otherwise I wouldn't have such a high regard for them.
Rogers Place Edmonton, ABOpening act Texas King we’re great. Second time seeing BW at History and once again very impressed with this venue. As for BW they did not disappoint even though this was the last stop of tour and everyone must be beat up a little bit. Ian’s vocals were fantastic, his guitar playing wizardly, and the band was tight. The crowd sang lustily along with band, you couldn’t ask for a better Xmas show to wrap up 2023.
HISTORY Toronto, ONBig Wreck was amazing as always! I think this was my 5th time seeing them live, and I make sure to make every show in this area. They deserve much more recognition in the states but the fans know it’s a blessing to witness such talented musicians perform up close and will continue to support these guys. I can only hope they continue playing and return to the area for years to come. Keep rocking, Big Wreck we love and appreciate you!
