Mark Farner's American BandFriday, March 20, 2026 at 8:00pm
FIM Capitol Theatre
Legendary all-American frontman and guitarist Mark Farner was the engine that repeatedly pulled the original Grand Funk Railroad to the top of the charts, and today he’s a platinum recording artist 30 times over. At age 70, Farner commands the stage with the same intensity and outpouring of love as he did in 1969, and his fans are still flocking to see “the Captain.” His epic hits defined a generation — from “I’m Your Captain (Closer to Home)” to “We’re An American Band,” from “Heartbreaker” to “Bad Time To Be In Love,” along with covers of “The Loco-Motion” and “Some Kind of Wonderful.”
However, being viewed as a “rockstar” is only one small facet of this Michigan-born son. “I think our fans originally connected to our songs because we were sincere,” Farner said.
Farner, a true patriot, works tirelessly to honor our nation’s service personnel and military veterans wherever they are stationed. He wants everyone to remember the huge sacrifices the men and women in the armed services make for us – all to protect our amazing country and freedoms.
Now, more than 50 years into his career, something magical still happens when Farner takes the stage. His voice is still strong, his guitar playing is still slick and lightning quick, and his trademark swagger still commands the stage, still mesmerizing audiences around the world.
“I love playing live where I can connect with people of all backgrounds,” he said. “It’s all about the fans…and all about love.”
