Grand Funk Railroad at The Northern Lights Theater At Potawatomi Bingo Casino
Quoth Homer Simpson: “Nobody knows the band Grand Funk? The wild, shirtless lyrics of Mark Farner? The bong-rattling bass of Mel Schacher? The competent drum work of Don Brewer?” While it’s true that future generations may never know Grand Funk Railroad, the power trio did make a huge splash in the late ’60s and early ’70s, selling more than 30 million albums and spawning hits like “We’re An American Band.” That early success has been enough to carry GFR’s members through leaner times, and singer-guitarist Mark Farner, though rarely shirtless on stage these days, enjoys a solid fan base for his solo material.
