Podcast appearances and mentions of Mark Farner

So many music fans want to be in the time capsule, jump back and be present when the music not only started, but to be a fly on the wall and absorb the scents, the colors, the sounds, the discussions, the drugs, the sex, debauchery, the arguments, heartbreaks and everything just to separate the myth from the history. Miss Barbara Bacon was the 17 year old on the scene, taking it all in and living to tell all about it.    The Stooges, Ted Nugent, Mark Farner, Mc5, Bob Seger, The Who at the Holiday Inn Flint, Alice Cooper, Pete Andrews, Craig Frost, Twiggy, SRC, Michael Bruce...just a smear of the stories she has from backstage, homesteads, and hotels, to long trips, joint-sharing, bi-sexual reality, and the front row ticket to every event. Barbara has submitted Stooges and other artwork to the Michigan Rock Legends Hall of Fame and now has decided to do the ULTIMATE name drop and recall all her unreal stories. However, don't call her a groupie, she sat shotgun, witnessed and made wise decisions not to partake in the private world, while her older sister Carolyn and friends reaped fringe benefits. Barbara is a walking encyclopedia of Detroit, Pontiac, Ann Arbor and the world of rock and roll, via mid to late '60s and beyond. From Mitch Ryder to Mt. Holly--these are her stories. Part two of two here adds festival stories, Jackie Wilson, Jeep Holland and more. Barbara draws out stories from Dr. J and Sir Fred as well. Tune in for the big finale--now!

Chris Akin talks with Mark Farner about new music, soul peace, and more.

As one of the founding members, lead singer, lead guitarist, and wrote more than 90% of the Grand Funk music catalog, Farner has always been known as the energetic driving force on stage, the engine that pulled the original Grand Funk Railroad to the top of the charts. From his soulful voice and power rock riffs, to fueling the Funk with his atomic stage presence. His story and his imprint on music starts with Flint and since 1969 from his humble beginnings and a blue-collar outlook, Farner has captained a global crusade for love, peace and freedom and became a rock ‘n' roll icon. “Closer to My Home” is the long-awaited, new nine-song album from the legendary guitarist and singer/ songwriter. Bridging past and present, the grit of industry and the calloused hard work of a rural man, “Closer to My Home” champions Farner's multi-faceted artistry. Celebrating the 55th anniversary of the iconic hit “(I'm Your Captain) Closer To My Home” the album is highlighted with a re-record, finding Farner in exactly the same form as 1970.This is a classic!

1st ANNIVERSARY SHOW! I'm rebroadcasting our three anniversary shows! This is our first one from March 2022.I started the podcast in March 2021. It was the depths of the pandemic. Musicians like me could neither perform nor even rehearse. I needed to find a creative outlet and someone suggested that I should look into starting a podcast. I had no idea what a podcast was; I had never even listened to one. But the more that I looked into it the more I became convinced that a podcast could provide a much deeper level of engagement than ordinary social media. Plus I felt that I had an interesting and inspiring story to tell. So I began the podcast.This 1st Anniversary episode features vignettes from a number of my first year guests: “Cousin Brucie” Morrow, America's most famous radio personality; Jim Peterik of the Ides of March and formerly with Survivor; Mark Farner of Grand Funk Railroad fame; John Lodge of the Moody Blues; Joey Dee of “Peppermint Twist” fame; and English classical composer Sarah Class. Plus several other guests including budding Egyptologist Sarah Kotlova; Garry Ridge, CEO of WD 40; David Bedford, Beatles Liverpool Tour Guide; Debbie Greenberg of The Cavern Club in Liverpool; podcasting star John Lee Dumas; and Reena Friedman's Better Call Daddy podcast. ---------------------------------------------The Follow Your Dream Podcast:Top 1% of all podcasts with Listeners in 200 countries!For more information and other episodes of the podcast click here. To subscribe to the podcast click here .To subscribe to our weekly Follow Your Dream Podcast email click here.To Rate and Review the podcast click here.“Dream With Robert”.

Mark Farner has a new album, Closer To My Home, coming out on November 8, 2024. We are pleased to have Mark join RadioBypass once again to discuss this amazing new record. We cannot wait for everyone the world over to hear this one! Mark Slaughter of Slaughter fame was a huge participant on this album, including being co-producer along with Mark Farner. Mark and I discuss how he and Mark Slaughter came to work together. When we first got to hear the new album, our initial thoughts were that this album is full of amazing songs, incredible performances, and was a very heartfelt, very personal album for Mark. We talk about that, and you will find out if he agrees with that assessment! In addition to ten new songs on the CD version, there is also a 55th Anniversary Re-Recording of I'm Your Captain (Closer To Home) that sounds absolutely stunning. Mark gave us the okay to play it at the end of our conversation, so be sure to check it out! The legendary Mark Farner, still creating Rock and Roll music (and conversation) that DESERVES to be heard! Join us!
