Despite the lack of critical acclaim--and airplay--Grand Funk Railroad went on to become one of the most popular American rock bands in the 1970s, packing arenas worldwide. After securing veteran musician Todd Rundgren as a producer, two successful albums and two number hit singles resulted: “We’re an American Band” from We’re An American Band and “The Loco-Motion” from Shinin’ On.

After a series of break-ups and reinventions during the ‘70s, ’80s and ‘90s, in 2000 founding members Don Brewer and Mel Schacher recruited lead vocalist Max Carl (of ’38 Special), former Kiss lead guitarist Bruce Kulick and keyboardist Tim Cashion and continued to tour as Grand Funk Railroad. The band takes great pride that GFR is Homer Simpson’s favorite band on the long-running series The Simpsons.
