“Shine A Light On Me Brother is a striking ten-track barn burner.” – Rock and Blues Muse
“It’s like hearing the Blues Brothers & Blackberry Smoke doing Proud Mary, in the desert.”–
Classic Rock
The news of the 2022 UK tour follows the release of the band’s critically acclaimed new studio
album Shine A Light On Me Brother.
The album features the hit singles Shine A Light On Me Brother and Everyday – infectious blues
rock anthems that have been getting spins on UK radio stations including Planet Rock, BBC Radio
2, Radio Caroline, The Max, Total Rock, HRH, MMH, ERB, and many more.
The band are currently in middle of an 11-date UK tour, and despite the post-lockdown blues, the
Californian sextet are receiving an incredible reception, including sold out shows, enthusiastic
reviews and fan reaction.
Says the Wreck’s frontman, Robert Jon Burrison, “Our latest single, Everyday’ is an all-out goodtime jam track that was born out of frustration due to lack of freedoms that we had grown used to
pre-pandemic and were subsequently denied during lockdown. It’s about the desire to get
together with friends, play music, have some beers, and just spend time with each other in person
again. This track is one to be listened to on repeat and sung along to!”
Shine a Light on Me Brother is available on CD, vinyl, limited edition deluxe coloured vinyl, and in
limited edition bundles including signed deluxe edition vinyl, ltd edition t-shirt, signed CD, ltd
edition retro California vanity plates, and signed limited edition photos of Robert Jon & The Wreck.
