Now you can enjoy this hard rock explosion when Grand Funk Railroad rolls into Chinook Winds Casino on Feb. 8 and 9. Originally formed in Flint, Mich., in 1969, the band enjoyed mega-hits such as “We’re An American Band,” “I'm Your Captain/Closer to Home,” “Locomotion,” and “Some Kind of Wonderful” that still receive continuous airplay on classic rock radio. Legend has it that Prince named his first rock band Grand Central as a nod to Grand Funk. Grand Funk has toured the world and can claim that its performance at New York’s Shea Stadium, in 1971, sold out faster than The Beatles. The group’s widespread appeal also is evident in its considerable recording achievements. Over its career, Grand Funk has had 19 charted singles, eight Top 40 hits, and two No. 1 singles Triple Play Getaway Triple Play is your ticket to enjoy a coastal getaway complete with great gaming, dining, shopping, and an ocean view room.
