GRAND FUNK RAILROAD. Grand Funk Railroad includes original founding members Don Brewer (vocals and drums, writer and singer of the multi-million selling hit, We’re an American Band) and bassist Mel Schacher, “The God of Thunder.” Joining Don and Mel are true “All-Stars.” Singer Max Carl is a rock veteran from 38 Special, Lead guitarist Bruce Kulick and Keyboardist Tim Cashion. Grand Funk laid the groundwork for such bands as Foreigner, Journey, Van Halen and Bon Jovi with its signature hard-driving sound, soulful vocals, muscular instrumentation and forceful pop melodies. Grand Funk’s legacy still reigns over the Classic Rock landscape fifty years after its 1969 birth in Flint, Michigan is a true testament to the group’s influence and staying power. Mega-hits “We’re an American Band,” “I’m Your Captain/Closer to Home,” “Locomotion,” and “Some Kind of Wonderful.” The group has now accumulated 13 gold and 10 platinum records. The multi-talented band carries on the tradition of Grand Funk hits and creates a new chapter in the legacy of Grand Funk Railroad.

 

JEFFERSON STARSHIP. When founding member Paul Kantner formed Jefferson Starship in the ’70s, he envisioned the band as a cast of musical adventurers, contributing to his epic concept albums and eventual deep catalog of rock classics. Jefferson Starship’s five members describe themselves as both a “family” and a “gang,” and that comes across in talking to them, and in their robust live performances, which have taken them to all 50 U.S. states, five continents, and too many countries to list here. In addition to original member David Freiberg, the band includes drummer Donny Baldwin, keyboardist Chris Smith, guitarist Jude Gold, and singer and guitarist Cathy Richardson. As Jefferson Starship approaches their 50th anniversary, the group’s members look to the future with the word Kantner, who unfortunately died in 2016, used to say to them all the time: “Onward.”

 

FRAN COSMO & ANTON COSMO of BOSTON. Fran Cosmo exploded onto the Rock scene when he took over for Brad Delp as the lead singer for the Legendary group BOSTON in 1992. Fran was featured as the lead vocalist on the “Walk On” album which sold over 1 million copies worldwide. Certified Platinum in America and certified Platinum in Canada. Walk On reached #7 on the Billboard Charts and produced the hit single “I Need Your Love”, which climbed to #4 on the Mainstream Rock Chart. Fran Cosmo was a member of BOSTON and toured with them from 1992 to 2006. Fran Cosmo and Brad Delp shared lead vocal duties on the BOSTON Album Corporate America. The release also featured Fran Cosmo singing a rare live version of “Livin’ For You”, the power-ballad from the Walk-On record and BOSTON‘S Greatest Hits, which ultimately became one of the fan favorites at the live concerts over the years. Fran Cosmo is currently performing live with his own band, best known for his high-energy performances and powerful rock vocals. Expect new music, a single with a video, and an exciting new set-list to perform live. 

 

NATE NATHAN AND THE MAC DADDY-O’S. The Phoenix-based musical band formed and led by Nate Nathan follows Nate’s passion for music.  As it increased, he called upon all of his musically inclined friends to help take his music and theirs to the next level. The 11-piece band Mac Daddy-O’s have been a popular opening addition to The Good Life Festival in previous years, delivering a popular and lively performance.
