They’re comin’ to your town to help you party down.
The current iteration of Grand Funk Railroad has been together for 23 years and counting. Over their near quarter century together, the quintet has settled into a nice groove.“Our lead singer Max Carl, formerly of .38 Special and Jack Mac and the Heart Attack, is probably one of the last blue eyed soul singers on the planet and just a great fit for Grand Funk,” Brewer told the Post.Other members of the group have legendary resumes as well.
“Mel and I read off each other. He knows I’m going to be there doing my part. If either of us are ever a little bit off, we don’t have to think about it. We’re two peas in a pod.”After Brewer had his opening line to the now instantly recognizable earworm, he had a lot of work to do. With that in mind, he used the three or four chords he knew on guitar and came up with the lyrics about sweet, sweet Connie, Little Rock and staying up all night playing poker with four young chiquitas in Omaha.“One day I’m sitting in my apartment jamming, and singing the song. Then it just came out of my mouth because it sounded good to sing ‘We’re an American band.’ And that was it.
“I get out to the microphone, start singing and see people are on their feet having a great time regardless of age. Whether it’s playing at a festival or fair with grandkids and kids and parents, they’re all singing along.”Brewer and fellow original member Mel Schacher have quite a bit of New York history in them.
