You cannot talk about rock in the 1970s without talking about Grand Funk Railroad.” –Rolling Stone

Featuring original members Don Brewer and Mel Schacher, along with Max Carl (formerly of 38 Special), Bruce Kulick (formerly of KISS), and Tim Cashion (formerly of Bob Seger), Grand Funk Railroad are coming to your town to help you party down! Be there as this legendary top-selling American rock group of the 1970s delivers its signature sound of soulful vocals, hard-driving guitars, and unforgettable tunes.

Grand Funk Railroad 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. A 1971 performance at New York's Shea Stadium sold out faster than the Beatles. Over their career, Grand Funk Railroad has had 19 charted singles, 8 Top 40 hits, and two Number One singles. The group has accumulated 13 gold and 10 platinum records with record sales exceeding 25 million copies sold worldwide. Hits include:

We're An American Band | The Loco-Motion | Some Kind Of Wonderful | I'm Your Captain / Closer To Home | Bad Time | Shinin’ On
