Homer Simpson’s favorite band!
Celebrating 35 Years of Funk

"Grand Funk were the people’s choice, and the people were right!" David Fricke, Rolling Stone Magazine, April 3, 2003.

The top selling American rock group of the 70’s is "COMIN’ TO YOUR TOWN TO HELP YOU PARTY IT DOWN". As of 2001, Grand Funk Railroad is reformed and extremely excited by the reissue of the group’s entire catalog on CD and the box set Thirty Years of Funk (EMI-Capitol Records). After playing to millions of fans on the band’s 1996-1998 and 2000-2004 tours, Grand Funk’s 2005 Tour will continue to reach both new and long-time fans.

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 (who Don calls "the best blue-eyed soul singer on the planet") 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. Lead guitarist Bruce Kulick is best known for his 12 years with KISS and also 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’s 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 more than thirty-five 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 recent General Motors national TV ad campaign and in Disney’s animated feature film The Country Bears.

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 13 gold and 10 platinum records with record sales in excess of 25 million copies sold worldwide. The most recent gold CD award was presented to the band May 10, 2002 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. In July of 2004, GFR drew 25,000 people to their Molson Canal Series Concert outside Buffalo, New York. A new CD of original material and a new DVD of the current live show are both planned for release later this year. With the group’s 2005 tour, seasoned Grand Funk lovers and contemporary rock fans discovering the group for the first time will be able to see and hear first hand that Grand Funk Railroad’s train is right on track.
