    About This Event

    Big Wreck, the Canadian rock group led by Ian Thornley and co-founded with Brian Doherty in 1992, performs at Irving Plaza. Reunited in 2010 after a 2003 breakup, the band’s recorded catalogue — from Albatross and Ghosts to ...But for the Sun, 7 and The Rest of the Story — charts Thornley’s guitar-forward, post-grunge songwriting that drives their live approach.
