"When we take the stage for the first time in over 15 months and hear the crowd and applause, I’m sure I will be thinking ‘Thank God!’"— DON BREWER

GRAND FUNK RAILROAD--the legendary rock & roll powerhouse—are gearing up to return to the road in 2021 starting July 2 in Fayetteville, GA, with another 29 shows to follow this year.

After playing to millions of fans on the band’s tours from 1996 to 2019, GRAND FUNK will continue to reach both new and long-time fans on the “Some Kind Of Wonderful Tour”, named in honor of their 1975 Billboard pop smash. 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”. Notably, this year marks the 50th anniversary of when the group’s show at New York’s Shea Stadium sold out faster than THE BEATLES.

Known as “The American Band”, the high-energy five-piece group 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 b>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.
