About Big Wreck
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.

Big 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!

Mr 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.

Opening 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.

Big 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!

Opening two-piece act, Caged Affair from Asheville, wasn’t bad. Ian and company brought the receipts! Sound could’ve been mixed better, but the crowd and the atmosphere were stellar! I can understand why they may not allow re-entry, but it could prove problematic. Drink prices were simply unreasonable-two watered-down bourbon/sprites with 10% tip were $40. Anywho, Big Wreck’s 2 hour performance overrode all my gripes…would definitely see them again!!!

I’m not overstating when I say this is one of the best shows I’ve seen in the last ten years. And I’ve seen A LOT of shows. The band was so tight and there was actual exuberance from the players. Crowd was really good too. Their opener is now someone I’m checking out because they have a great performance as well. Not a bad way to spend an average Tuesday night.

This band should be as big as the Foo Fighters! Mind blowing performance and the musicianship was top notch. Sound quality was great and the crowd was enthusiastic, the band fed off us and we in turn grew more enthusiastic. The openers Texas King, although more a straight up rock band, were on point and to me seemed like the next Kings of Leon. This night was a treat!

Have seen Big Wreck many times before and they just seem to get better every time. Chris is a perfect fit for the band and boy can he play. I mean I don't know what else to say other than if you have seen them you know what I am talking about. If not they are a must see band. One of the best shows ever

Amazing band. Thornley drove the band through a set if old and new songs and absolutely killed. These guys from Canada are the real deal ,so don't miss a chance to see them live. Top 5 singer around period! On another note, try your hardest to miss the shitty opening cover band. A fucking joke they got to play before the mighty Big Wreck!

The band was amazing! The live sound reinforcement (sound guy) left a little to be desired. For a guitar rich band like Big Wreck, you HAVE to have mids! The sound was scooped with all of the mid range dialed out of it, and waaay to much reverb on the vocals. Sounded like we were inside a beer can to be honest
