I was just sent word that Ian Thornley is reuniting with guitarist Brian Doherty, the other original co-founding member of Big Wreck, for an upcoming Canadian jaunt. Word has it each performance will bridge Thornley’s solo material with Big Wreck’s back catalogue for a tour that will likely have a few Big Shiny ’90s fans in great spirits. I remember sitting in front of MuchMusic for hours on end, making mix tapes by running the audio from the TV through our old tape deck. (Growing up in a small town means not a lot of great new rock on the radio.) "That Song" made it on to quite a few of those tapes. Unfortunately, there aren’t any east coast dates, but those of you out west and in Ontario will have the opportunity to revisit one of the great eras of mainstream Canadian rock. Dates below.

11.20 – Brandon, MB – The 40/Trail West Inn
11.22 – Winnipeg, MB – Canad Inn
11.23 – Saskatoon, SK – Tequila
11.24 – Red Deer, AB – Lotus Night Club
11.25 – Calgary, AB – Whiskey
11.26 – Edmonton, AB – Grey Cup Festival
11.27 – Grande Prairie, AB – Better Than Fred
