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.
