LEGENDARY DRUMMER-SINGER-SONGWRITER
for GRAND FUNK RAILROAD
CELEBRATING '50' YEARS OF FUNK
EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW
Originating from Flint, Michigan
in 1969, this top selling American rock group of the 70’s is “COMIN’ TO YOUR
TOWN TO HELP YOU PARTY IT DOWN”. Grand
Funk Railroad is extremely excited to be touring in 2019 marking a 50-year
milestone. After playing to millions of fans on the band’s tours from 1996 to
2018, Grand Funk’s 2019 American Band 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 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.
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.
Grand Funk’s 2018 tour was a huge
success and now, with the group’s 2019 American Band 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!
