Grand Funk Railroad to Perform at The Orleans Showroom 4/20 & 21

Popular '70s rock band Grand Funk Railroad will play their hits at The Orleans Showroom April 20 and 21.

In 1969, the band released its first two albums, "On Time," and "Grand Funk" (also know as "The Red Album"). In 1970, the group sold more albums than any other American band and became a major concert attraction. The following year, they broke The Beatles' attendance record at New York's Shea Stadium, selling out a concert in just 72 hours.

Perhaps best-known for their 1973 chart-topping single, "We're An American Band," Grand Funk achieved great success throughout the '70s, releasing eleven total albums, seven of which were top 10 entries on the Billboard charts.

In 1998, Grand Funk performed at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum in Cleveland, highlighting a donation of memorabilia to be included in a Grand Funk display at the museum.

Current members of Grand Funk Railroad are Don Brewer, Mel Schacher, Max Carl, Bruce Kulick and Tim Cashion.

Showtime each evening is 8 p.m. Tickets are available starting from $39.95, plus tax and convenience fees, and can be purchased at The Orleans Box Office or by calling 1-888-365-7111 or 702-365-7075.
