Mark Farner

A true rock 'n roll legend, Mark Farner found fame and success at 20 years of age as the leader of one of America's biggest
bands of the 1970's - the original 
Grand Funk Railroad. 
The band recorded 17 albums with total sales of more than 25 million records. 
Mark Farner is the unmistakable voice, guitarist, and songwriter that powered the original Grand Funk Railroad to 12 platinum and 15 gold albums.
Mark and Grand Funk hit big just several months after forming. They were the only
unsigned act on the show when they opened the first day of the Atlanta International Pop Festival in July 1969. Mark and Grand Funk Railroad played before 180,000 people in 110-degree heat and the acclaim was instantaneous. 

In 1995, Mark toured with Ringo Starr's All-Star Band, then toured with The Northwest Airlines All-Stars in 1996 before reuniting with Don Brewer and Mel Schacher for a series of benefit concerts that were recorded, and released as the double live cd "Bosnia" for Capitol-EMI.

Not slowing down, Mark Farner is continuing to electrify audiences with a mix of his original Grand Funk hits and music from throughout his 35 year professional career.
