ABOUT MARK FARNER
Mark Farner was the guitarist and lead singer for Grand Funk Railroad, as well as the songwriter for most of their material. He wrote the iconic "I'm Your Captain (Closer to Home)," "Some Kind Of Wonderful," and the hit "Bad Time," which became the last of the band's four singles to reach the top 5 on the Billboard Hot 100. By 1971, Grand Funk achieved a major milestone by equaling the Beatles' Shea Stadium attendance record and selling out the venue in just 72 hours, whereas the Beatles' concert took weeks to sell out.
Farner is of Native American descent and received the Lakota Sioux Elders Honor Mark in 1999. Members of the Lakota Nation later honored him with a hand-made ceremonial quilt. He was also awarded the Cherokee Medal of Honor by the Cherokee Honor Society.
ABOUT DAVID SPERO
David Spero, a rock-radio pioneer since the 1970s, is a highly regarded music manager known for his work with iconic artists such as Michael Stanley, Ringo Starr’s All-Star Band, Joe Walsh, Yusef Islam (formerly Cat Stevens), Dickey Betts, The Funk Brothers, The Raspberries, Ted Neeley, and Harry Nilsson, among others. He is credited with bringing the Eagles back together. Humble Pie credits David with playing a pivotal role in breaking their band in the US.
