Big Wreck released their 6th album "...but for the sun" last year to glowing reviews. For me personally, it was one of my favorite albums of the year and the music continues to be in my everyday music rotation. I got the chance to chat with Ian Thornley about the album and how the death of guitarist Brian Doherty affected both him and the rest of the band. Ian also shares his thoughts on writing music and what inspired him to pick up a guitar. Please enjoy the conversation!
