Big Wreck – Ready to Rock

Save the dates! Big Wreck is touring around Canada this fall and winter season, and they’re more than prepared to tear it up. If you haven’t heard of them yet, Big Wreck is a Canadian-American rock band formed originally in Boston, Massachusetts, in 1994. They’ve been through a lot, disbanding in 2003, our Canadian representative Ian Thornley took off for a solo-career as he quickly got back on his feet. He named his new band “Thornley”, and had quite a few members, but it only happened to last until 2011. However, Ian and Brian Doherty reunited for a cross-Canada tour in 2010, and this was the kicker to get “Big Wreck” started up once again. Currently, Big Wreck consists of Ian, Dave McMillan, Chris Caddell, and Sekou Lumumba. And together, they’re here to bring themselves back into the spotlight, and truly get back into enjoying what they love most; rockin’ out. You may be asking, “what happened to Brian?” and sadly, he passed away in June 2019 to cancer. The band misses him dearly, but is respecting and devoted to bringing his music into the future. Brian worked with passion and love for the group and what he could create, and they’re hoping to carry his spirit with them as they take to Canada on their tour, starting November 19th in Sidney, BC.

Big Wreck will be touring to plenty of spots here in BC, Alberta, Ontario, and Quebec! With their newest EP, “7.1” dropping the day of their first performance of the tour, it’s certainly a tour to look forward to. The excitement is building for many, and it’s a huge chance to catch some incredible artists perform their hearts out on stage! If you haven’t already been a fan, now is certainly the time to get into their works. They’ll be on Vancouver Island to start, but they’ll be a bit more local here in Abbotsford on the 20th! Book your tickets through their website here, and get ready for the show of a lifetime!
