“You cannot talk about rock in the 1970s without talking about Grand Funk Railroad!” --David Fricke, Rolling Stone Magazine, April 3, 2003
Originating from Flint, Michigan in 1969, this top selling American rock group of the '70s is “COMIN’ TO YOUR TOWN TO HELP YOU PARTY IT DOWN." Grand Funk Railroad is extremely excited to be touring in 2014 marking a 45 year milestone. After playing to millions of fans on the band’s tours from 1996 to 2011, Grand Funk’s 2014 Tour will continue to reach both new and long-time fans.
Known as “The American Band," the high-energy five-piece group will play forty shows all over the USA this year. Grand Funk Railroad includes original founding members Don Brewer (vocals and drums, writer and singer of the multi-million selling hit, We’re An American Band) and bassist Mel Schacher, “The God Of Thunder." Joining Don and Mel are true “All Stars." Singer Max Carl is a rock veteran from 38 Special. Max penned and sang 38’s biggest hit “Second Chance” and was co-founder of California’s legendary Jack Mack and the Heart Attack. Don refers to Max as “the best blue-eyed soul singer on the planet." Lead guitarist Bruce Kulick is best known for his 12 years with KISS and also has credits with Michael Bolton, Meatloaf and Billy Squier. (KISS members Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley were influenced early on by Grand Funk.) Keyboardist Tim Cashion has a master’s degree in music from the University of Miami. Affectionately called “Dr. Tim," his credits include stints with Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band and English soul man Robert Palmer.

Conjunto Atardecer is a popular Mexican Duranguense music group considered to be "Los Número Uno Del Pasito Duranguense". Formed in Durango, Durango, Conjunto Atardecer is known for being one of many duranguense groups to actually be from the state of Durango.
Conjunto Atardecer formed in Santa Maria del Oro, Durango, in September 2000. The idea of forming this group stems from the concerns of three young students who were beginning to switch on some of the school festivals were much in demand, as well as private events.
Seeing that many people liked the group they were asked increasingly to private events, then they decided to invite two more members, thus reinforcing musically. They begin to rehearse, but not yet the name that would identify them in their presentations, it was then that I had the idea of calling Conjunto Atardecer honoring that afternoon when the five came together for the first time.
