Known as “the American Band,” top-selling American rock group 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. The fact that Grand Funk’s legacy still reigns over the classic rock landscape 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. Internationally acclaimed Grand Funk Railroad has toured the world, selling out in the United States, Canada, Europe, Japan, and South America. A 1971 performance at New York’s Shea Stadium sold out faster than the Beatles. The multi-talented band’s 2018 tour carries on the tradition and creates a new chapter in their 49-year legacy as Grand Funk continues to reach both new and longtime fans.
