Known
as "The American Band", the high-energy five-piece group will play
forty shows all over the USA this year. Grand Funk Railroad includes
original founding members Don Brewer (vocals and drums, writer and
singer of the multi-million selling hit, We're An American Band) and
bassist Mel Schacher, "The God Of Thunder". Joining Don and Mel are true
"All Stars". Singer Max Carl is a rock veteran from 38 Special. Max
penned and sang 38's biggest hit "Second Chance" and was co-founder of
California's legendary Jack Mack and the Heart Attack. Don refers to Max
as "the best blue-eyed soul singer on the planet". Lead guitarist Bruce
Kulick is best known for his 12 years with KISS and has credits with
Michael Bolton, Meatloaf and Billy Squier. (KISS members Gene Simmons
and Paul Stanley were influenced early on by Grand Funk.) Keyboardist
Tim Cashion has a master's degree in music from the University of Miami.
Affectionately called "Dr. Tim", his credits include stints with Bob
Seger and the Silver Bullet Band and English soul man Robert Palmer.
Grand
Funk laid the groundwork for such bands as Foreigner, Journey, Van
Halen and Bon Jovi with its signature hard driving sound, soulful
vocals, muscular instrumentation and forceful pop melodies. The fact
that Grand Funk's legacy still reigns over the Classic Rock landscape
fifty years after its 1969 birth in Flint, Michigan is a testament to
the group's influence and staying power. Mega-hits We're An American
Band, I'm Your Captain/Closer To Home, Locomotion, and Some Kind Of
Wonderful still receive continuous airplay on Classic Rock radio. We're
An American Band has received notoriety in recent years being used in
movie sound tracks and in television/radio advertising. The huge hit was
featured in a General Motors national TV ad campaign and in Disney's
animated feature film The Country Bears. We're An American Band was
featured in the Cuba Gooding Jr. film RADIO, and also in the swash
buckler SAHARA starring Matthew McConaughey.
Internationally
acclaimed Grand Funk has toured the world, selling out in the U.S.,
Canada, Europe, Japan and South America. A 1971 performance at New
York's Shea Stadium sold out faster than the Beatles. The group's
widespread appeal is also evident in its prestigious recording
achievements. Over their career, Grand Funk has had 19 charted singles, 8
Top 40 hits and two Number One singles (We're An American Band and
Locomotion, both selling more than one million each). The group has now
accumulated 13 gold and 10 platinum records with record sales exceeding
25 million copies sold worldwide. The most recent gold CD award was
presented to the band for their greatest hits package Grand Funk
Railroad the Collectors Series.
The multi-talented band carries on
the tradition of Grand Funk hits and creates a new chapter in the legacy
of Grand Funk Railroad. GFR drew 25,000 people to their Molson Canal
Series Concert outside Buffalo, 20,000 in Albany, New York, and 20,000
fans to downtown Orlando, Florida. EMI/Capitol (Universal Music)
released a new Grand Funk Greatest Hits package that includes a bonus
DVD of rare concert footage. Grand Funk Railroad's 2019 50 YEARS OF FUNK
TOUR was a huge success and now, with the group's 2020 SOME KIND OF
WONDERFUL TOUR, seasoned Grand Funk lovers and contemporary rock fans
discovering the group for the first time will be able to celebrate 50
Years of Funk with GRAND FUNK RAILROAD!
