EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW WITH LEGENDARY GRAND FUNK RAILROAD CAPTAIN MARK FARNER

 

Hello everyone and welcome to another edition of Interviewing the Legends I’m your host Ray Shasho.

  “Closer to My Home” is the long-awaited, new album from legendary guitarist and singer/songwriter Mark Farner. Bridging past and present, the grit of industry and the calloused hard work of a rural man, “Closer to My Home” champions Farner’s multi-faceted artistry. Celebrating the 55th anniversary of the iconic hit “(I’m Your Captain) Closer to My Home” the album is highlighted with a re-record, finding Farner in exactly the same form as 1970. Mark says …“These songs are honest and from my heart,” “The collaboration with Jim (Peterik) and Mark (Slaughter) came from a place of trust and that makes the whole experience so much more rewarding as songwriters. The audience can feel that, and these songs reflect those very human moments that you can’t find creating a song from a computer.”

PLEASE WELCOME LEGENDARY SINGER,SONGWRITER,GUITARIST,KEYBOARDIST, FORMER MEMBER OF GRAND FUNK RAIROAD AND CURRENT MEMBER OF MARK FARNER’S AMERICAN BAND… BROTHER MARK FARNER TO INTERVIEWING THE LEGENDS …
