Big Wreck with Special Guest Tim Montana

About this event

Big Wreck is a Canadian-American neo-prog hard rock outfit. As the 1990s came to a close, they climbed the charts with their first single, “The Oaf,” a post-grunge anthem that became their biggest radio hit. Found on their multi-platinum debut album, In Loving Memory Of…, the track was followed by subsequent singles that fared well in Canada. Their sophomore follow-up, 2001’s The Pleasure and the Greed, hit the Top Ten in their home country, but it failed to gain traction on the singles charts or in the U.S. Soon after, Big Wreck split up. Nearly a decade later, with various side projects and adult careers under their belts, the band was re-formed by founder Ian Thornley and guitarist Brian Doherty, issuing the comeback effort Albatross in 2012. A Top Five Canadian hit, it was followed by the equally well-received Ghosts (2014) and Grace Street (2017). By the close of the decade, they’d released their acclaimed sixth album, …but for the sun. In 2021, the band unveiled Big Wreck: 7.1, the first of a planned trilogy of new EPs, later compiled into the full-length 7 (2023). The Rest of the Story, the group’s eighth studio LP, appeared two years later.
