Authorized Biography of Grand Funk Railroad’s
Mark Farner Hits Stores
Nashville,
TN -- From Grand Funk To Grace, the long awaited authorized
biography of Mark Farner of Grand Funk Railroad hits stores
February 26, 2002. Mark Farner is the voice, the guitar, the
songwriter and the soul that powered Grand Funk Railroad, the
top-selling American rock band of the late 1960s and early 1970s.
With their 1971 performance at New York’s Shea Stadium selling
out faster than the Beatles, Farner engineered the American
pop-metal sound that gave birth to such bands as Foreigner,
Journey, Van Halen and Bon Jovi. Grand Funk Railroad had four
world tours selling out in the United States, Canada, Europe,
Japan and South America.
Written
by Kristofer Engelhardt, the authorized biography covers a variety
of topics from the fiercely private Mark Farner’s life including
drug use, "sex-capades," touring with Grand Funk, marital infidelities,
divorce, bitter lawsuits, loss of fortune, battles with the
IRS, medical conditions, politics, religious rebirth and the
wide palette of special interests that drive the man behind
the music of rock’s greatest generation.
Published
by Collector’s Guide Publishing, Inc. From Grand Funk To
Grace, The Authorized Biography of Mark Farner, is available
at Borders outlets, Amazon.com, MARKFARNER.com and bookstores
