"It was the encore song. We had finished out set. We were the last band. And it was the last day of the festival...and uh, as we began the second verse I heard what I thought were fire crackers..." Christian told me in this interview about the song he and his band were playing when a gunman opened fire at the Gilroy Garlic Festival. 6:46 "We're an American Band": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rwsgznR_T-g Christian Swain's Social: (FB) @Christian.Swain & Twitter: @Swain_Christian Gilroy Garlic Festival Shooting Interview: https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fabc7news.com%2Fgilroy-garlic-festival-shooting-tinman-band-ca%2F5426550%2F%3Ffbclid%3DIwAR2g1KeesfEOgfvWuO2VlsN15-VMYXxeF-zpl_kmyu3yH_AIThZCmpSoq54&h=AT0Fm7_a9KLuTuK0QTyNM6U5CiXPg8Mey10SnwOdGjDMGpJ7wodB16UhiAIw706DVtx1xZhCiQopMPgATG2bb1WohhKe2nTSVBN0gy59wNRPlzFTPF1hWy7MI_uD9KsECakWOqjBKVB3 Christian's Podcasts: "Rock N Roll Archaeology" https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/rock-n-roll-archaeology/id1448931658 "Deeper Digs in Rock" https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/deeper-digs/id1450669102 Podcast Network "Pantheon" (FB) https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fpantheonpodcasts.com%2F%3Ffbclid%3DIwAR2AE0tPwAJbtrTQJ4bfcbPH8O3hntzKSeFyCt9k7EEuR6S4pmxowfQ7I3Y&h=AT0pvtPeheULzYmHwABatxzEvSuk2jJmHgKTnPdA5tJ5aJS-BpmR3rT9Mj48TtncCZjOedzDl2wDUYS-0pcSBDHfBW51k3wGAb8QYG8cjNHhkacZ8Hhf4GigY5K_oEqRIXb4a82RagHG Gonna stalk me on social?

Mark Farner (Former Grand Funk Railroad, Mark Farner's American Band) joins Eddie Trunk on this episode! He reflects on his time in Grand Funk Railroad, dishes on the time the band had the plug pulled on them while opening for Led Zeppelin, shares his thoughts on GFR moving forward without him while still using the same name, and more!
Grand Funk Railroad formed in Flint, Michigan in 1969, fusing R&B with rock and earning quite a name for themselves. From long jams like "I'm Your Captain" to tight pop hits like "Bad Time" to scaring hotel managers nationwide in "We're An American Band," this trio - now a quintet with two of the three original members - continues to tour and bang out the sound and spirit that's driven rock & roll for the last half-century. In this episode of the EricCast, I talk with founding member Don Brewer just ahead of a Wisconsin show. We discuss the band's roots, what's different today, how shows in the South and bringing back a gospel song helped them break through, and why they chose to cover "The Loco-motion," of all songs, and send it to #1 - again.
Randy and Michael get up close and too personal with Rock Patriot Mark Farner. The boys talk about their favorites such as "I'm Your Captain", "We're An American Band", "Some Kind of Wonderful", "The Locomotion", "Bad TIme" and Mark's new single "Take Me Out" (available now on iTunes). Rock on! www.MarkFarner.com #GrandFunkRailroad #MarkFarner
