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 new single Ain’t No Young Love Song is out soon.
“Shine A Light On Me Brother is a striking ten-track barn burner.”
– Rock and Blues Muse
“It’s like hearing the Blues Brothers and Blackberry Smoke
doing Proud Mary, in the desert .”
– Classic Rock
Says the Wreck’s frontman, Robert Jon Burrison, “Our recent single, Everyday’ is an all-out good-time 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 Brotheris available on CD, vinyl, limited edition deluxe coloured vinyl, and limited edition bundles including signed deluxe edition vinyl, ltd edition t-shirt, signed CD, retro California vanity plates, and signed limited edition photos of Robert Jon & The Wreck. The album is available from https://ffm.to/rjtwshine and www.robertjonandthewreck.com.
Robert Jon & The Wreck is comprised of Robert Jon Burrison (lead vocals, guitar), Andrew Espantman (drums, b. vocals), Steve Maggiora (keyboards, b. vocals), Henry James (lead guitar, b. vocals), and Warren Murrel (bass, b. vocals).
