MAYETTA (KSNT) – A top-selling band from the 1970s is due to make an appearance in northeast Kansas later this year for a live show during its tour across the country.
Prairie Band Casino & Resort announced on Aug. 4 that Grand Funk Railroad is due to perform live at 7 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 6, in its Great Lakes Ballroom. Tickets go on sale at noon on Friday, Aug. 8 for $81.25.
Grand Funk Railroad got its start in Flint, Michigan, in 1969 with original band members Don Brewer, Mark Farner and Mel Schacher, according to the band’s website. The players got inspiration for their band’s name from the local Grand Trunk Western Railroad that ran through Michigan.
Grand Funk Railroad has two number-one hits and four top 10 hits, according to Billboard. Some of their more well-known tracks include “Bad Time,” “The Loco-Motion,” “Shinin’ On” and “Some Kind of Wonderful.”
