Performer Information

Few bands in rock history have left as indelible a mark as Grand Funk Railroad. As the Grand Funk Railroad tour rolls on across North America, fans are reminded why this powerhouse from Flint, Michigan continues to draw generations of concertgoers. Formed in 1969 by Don Brewer, Mel Schacher, and Mark Farner, the band exploded onto the scene with driving rhythms and anthemic hooks, ultimately selling over 25 million albums worldwide. Their rise included four consecutive US Top 10 albums and a historic 1971 Shea Stadium concert that sold out faster than The Beatles. Their best-selling album, We’re an American Band, moved over 2 million copies and cemented their status as arena rock leaders.

Grand Funk Railroad helped pioneer the sound of 1970s arena rock with blues-based guitar riffs, gritty vocals, and crowd-chant choruses. Their energetic live shows and working-class appeal forged a multi-generational fanbase that still packs venues. Their influence can be heard in major acts like REO Speedwagon, Styx, and Foreigner—proof of a legacy that continues to resonate.

Current Band Members

A founding member since 1969, Brewer’s powerful drumming and unmistakable voice drive the band’s signature sound. He delivers lead vocals on hits like “We’re an American Band” and remains a cornerstone of their live show.

• Mel Schacher — Bass

Also a founding member since 1969, Schacher’s prominent bass lines anchor the band’s hard rock edge. Before joining Grand Funk Railroad, he played with ? and the Mysterians.

• Max Carl — Vocals, Keyboards

Joining in 2000, Carl (formerly of 38 Special) brought a dynamic vocal presence and keys that broaden the band’s live palette. His seasoned musicianship adds a modern polish to classic anthems.

• Bruce Kulick — Guitar

On board since 2000, the former KISS guitarist supplies technical precision and commanding stage presence. Kulick’s soaring leads and tone elevate both deep cuts and chart-toppers.

Cashion joined in 2000 and has worked with Bob Seger and Robert Palmer. His keys and harmonies add depth, rounding out the band’s big, arena-ready sound.

Former and Legacy Members

A founding member and principal songwriter, Farner’s high-energy performances and distinctive voice defined the band’s early era. His tenure included pivotal years in the 1970s and subsequent reunions.

Frost expanded the group’s sound in the 1970s before later joining Bob Seger & the Silver Bullet Band. His contributions helped shape several of the band’s classic recordings.

Grand Funk Railroad’s catalog brims with staples of classic rock radio, from “We’re an American Band” and “The Loco-Motion” to “I’m Your Captain (Closer to Home)” and “Some Kind of Wonderful.” Albums like Closer to Home, Phoenix, and Shinin’ On showcased their range—hard-hitting rockers, singalong choruses, and extended jams that became concert highlights. Fans still snap up Grand Funk Railroad tickets to hear these anthems live.

On stage, they deliver high-energy, no-frills rock with professional production—extended jams, audience singalongs, and Don Brewer’s drum solos are signature moments.
