What began as a chance of a lifetime for three lifelong Mark
Farner fans, resulted in the newest single from the legendary frontman and
guitarist. After first meeting at a Rock and Roll Fantasy Camp, Farner served as
the group’s counselor and soon struck up a musical bond. Their friendship has
endured. The new single and its accompanying video for “Can’t Stop” holds
nothing back in terms of straight at you guitar riffs and tongue-in-cheek rock and
roll debauchery.
As one of the founding members, lead singer and guitarist, Farner was the
engine that pulled the original Grand Funk Railroad to the top of the charts, and
today he’s a platinum recording artist 30 times over. Farner commands the stage
with the same intensity and outpouring of love as he did during the summer of
’69, and his fans are still flocking to the Captain. The rock patriot’s synergy and
open heart come through in epic hits that defined a generation—“I’m Your
Captain (Closer to Home),” “We’re An American Band,” a recut of “The Loco-
Motion,” and “Some Kind of Wonderful”— and “rock star” is only one facet of this
Michigan-born son’s legacy.
“I dig it. The idea of working with some of my own fans on music that we jointly
construct, made for an interesting project,” Farner said. “I’m always looking for
new and creative ideas in music and I am even more interested in unusual video
ideas that reach a broad base of new and existing fans.”
