Big Wreck's Ian Thornley: Writing, guitar gunslinging, and a Kelowna burger!

Big gig for Kelowna

Big Wreck make a return to Kelowna alongside +LIVE+ for the Like A Rollin’ Thunder Tour.

Econoline Crush are also on the bill for a dazzling trio of acts Tuesday Feb. 24 at Prospera Place.

Roach, for 104.7 The LIZARD, chatted with Big Wreck frontman/guitarist Ian Thornley.

The band released their seventh album The Rest Of The Story, in October, which features the prominent new single "Believer".

Thornley speaks about the band's attitude to writing music, how there'll be no gunslinging on stage, and how Kelowna holds a special place for him in terms of beauty and a burger!
