GFR Cancels Show: Don Brewer Tests Positive For Covid

Author Donielle Flynn
(L-R): Mel Schacher, Don Brewer, Mark Farner and (not pictured) Craig Frost of Grand Funk Railroad were born in Flint in 1948; Schacher in '51.

Covid sucks.  Grand Funk Railroad had to cancel their appearance at Uncle Sam Jam in Woodhaven tomorrow night (July 8th, 2022) due to Covid.  This is from their press release:  “Founding member of Grand Funk Railroad, Don Brewer, has tested positive for COVID-19 and the band will be postponing dates on their Some Kind Of Wonderful 2022 Tour. VIP tickets can be refunded at the point of purchase. For updates go to grandfunkrailroad.com.”  We hope Don recovers easily and quickly.

Here’s really cool article on Don Brewer talking about his contributions to Grand Funk (he wrote and sang lead on “We’re An American Band,” GFR’s first big hit.  Here’s the link to the article on udiscovermusic.com

In the meantime, here are some pics from their 2016 show at Rockin’ On the Riverfront.
