Steve Janowsky, the Review Fix Rocktologist- Episode Two: Mark Farner Interview
01/29/10
Mark Farner, guitarist, singer and songwriter for Grand Funk Railroad, has had a prolific and stellar musical career. The Flint, Michigan native was part of one of America’s first power trios (1968-1977, 1980-1983 and 1996-1999) along with Mel Schacher (bass) and Don Brewer (drums and vocals). With classic rock anthems like “We’re an American Band,” “I’m Your Captain” (Closer to Home), “Inside Looking Out,” ‘Heartbreaker,” “Bad Time,” “Mean Mistreater”and “Foot Stompin’ Music,” Grand Funk Railroad sold 25 million records while scoring 12 platinum and 15 gold albums.
Farner’s one of a kind vocals and expert guitar work defined Grand Funk Railroad’s (later called Grand Funk with the addition of keyboardist Craig Frost) sound and helped make them one of the most electrifying live acts in rock and roll history. What other rock group could play the Atlanta Pop Festival in front of 160,000 people as an unsigned band, be snapped up by Capitol records, and record their first album within four months? The band also set an attendance record at Shea Stadium in 1971, surpassing the legendary Beatles appearance in 1965.
From 1983 to 1994, Farner recorded Contemporary Christian albums garnering critical acclaim and continued to wow Grand Funk Railroad fans and newcomers to his music. He also toured with Ringo’s All-Star Band on numerous occasions starting in 1995 and later reunited with Schacher and Brewer for a series of benefit concerts for war-torn Bosnia that were recorded on the double CD “Bosnia.” From 1999 on Farner has toured with his band Nr’G releasing “Red, White and Blue” and “Live Nr’G.”

Dear Rock Star,
Many thanks for all of the well wishes we've received regarding our upcoming camp! If you haven't heard, the February camp will be filmed by Mark Burnett Productions for a reality television show to air on VH1 Classic. Every camper who registers for Rock ‘n’ Roll Fantasy Camp will receive a questionnaire from the production’s casting department. If you are interested in being featured in the show, submit the questionnaire, if not, no worries! There is no obligation to participate in the filming portion of the camp. Please see a casting notice from Mark Burnett Productions below.
I'm proud to announce that RRFC will donate $500 of every camper’s registration fee, who registers between now and February 22nd, to the Red Cross to help the people of Haiti.
The 3½ day camp is almost sold out! We still have a few spots left for vocalists, keyboardists, and guitarists at the shorter camp. We have spots open at the 5 ½ day camp in all instruments.
Talent Updates!
A handful of amazing artists have signed on for the February Camp. Joining us as a guest star is the iconic bass player Lemmy Kilmister from the band Motorhead! We’ve also added a few super counselors including Jeffrey Foskett, Brian Wilson's musical director and a former member of The Beach Boys, guitarist/singer extraordinaire Richie Kotzen, and Ron Nevison who produced bands ranging from The Who to Led Zeppelin. Ron, along with Eddie Kramer, will be in studio producing our camper bands' original songs. Campers will record at the newly remodeled EastWest Studios on Sunset Blvd in Hollywood! This beautiful studio is where The Mamas and The Papas recorded “California Dreaming” and “Monday, Monday,” Bob Dylan and The Who recorded, while The Beach Boys ushered in a new era of sound with their masterpiece album Pet Sounds.
Time is running out! Don’t get locked out of this camp! Come be a part of Rock ‘n’ Roll Fantasy Camp history. Register online at www.rockcamp.com or call 888.762.2263 x2.
