GRAND FUNK RAILROAD

This top selling American rock group of the 70's is celebrating its 40th Birthday and will perform 40 shows in 2009. This high-energy five-piece group formed in 1969, Grand Funk was born out of the ashes of Terry Knight & The Pack, another band from Flint, Michigan. Currently the group includes original founding members Don Brewer (vocals and drums, writer and singer of the hit, We're An American Band) and bassist Mel Schacher. Joining Don and Mel are true "All-Stars" such as Max Carl (38 Special, Jack Mack and the Heart Attack, Max Carl and Big Dance), lead guitarist Bruce Kulick (12 years with KISS and credits with Michael Bolton, Meatloaf and Billy Squier), and keyboardist Tim Cashion (Bob Seger and Robert Palmer). Together, Brewer and Schacher have created a dynamic and multi-talented five piece band that will not only carry on the tradition of Grand Funk hits, but also has the potential to create a new chapter in the legacy of Grand Funk Railroad. 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. With Grand Funk reforming in 2000, this is a new chapter in the band's biography, being written daily. www.grandfunkrailroad.com
