Mark Farner (Grand Funk Railroad)


Listen Later

Our guest this week is a legendary singer songwriter and musician -powerhouse frontman of Grand Funk Railroad: Mark Farner. As one of the original driving forces behind the band, —Mark is the the voice of anthems like “We’re an American Band” and the epic “I’m Your Captain (Closer to Home),” which he also wrote. Other Grand Funk hits include Bad Time/Some Kind Of Wonderful and their #1 cover of Little Eva’s “The Locomotion.”

But Mark’s journey goes beyond the stage. From blazing trails in the heyday of ’70s rock to mentoring emerging artists, and even embracing life as a dedicated farmer, Mark’s story is one of passion, resilience, and reinvention. Mark’s new album, his first full length release in nearly tow decades is “Closer To My Home” — which is available everywere now
