A Band Still Built for the Stage
Formed in 1969 in Flint, Michigan, Grand Funk Railroad became one of the biggest American rock bands of the 1970s, known for massive hits like “We’re an American Band” and “Some Kind of Wonderful.” Even now, more than five decades later, they continue to bring that same high-energy performance style to live audiences.
The current lineup still features founding members Don Brewer and Mel Schacher, supported by seasoned musicians who help carry the band’s sound forward while keeping its roots intact.
There have been some adjustments along the way. For parts of the 2026 tour, the band has performed as a four-piece while vocalist Max Carl recovers, showing their ability to adapt and keep the shows going regardless.
Still Shinin’ On
What stands out most about this tour isn’t just the number of dates — it’s the consistency. Grand Funk Railroad are not a nostalgia act that appears once in a while. They are a band that still lives on the road, still playing for fans old and new, still delivering the same straightforward, hard-hitting rock they built their name on.
The “Still Shinin’ On Tour” isn’t about reinventing the wheel. It’s about keeping it rolling — loud, steady, and unmistakably classic.
After more than 50 years, Grand Funk Railroad are still doing exactly what they were built for:
showing up, plugging in, and reminding everyone why they were called “The American Band.”
