We were excited to get a few minutes of Dewey Bunnell’s time to answer a few questions.Of all your albums which one was the hardest to complete and why?Hat Trick took the longest. It was the 3rd album and we were producing it ourselves as we had done since the 1st album, which we co-produced. It was not necessarily hard to complete, but we realized how complex it really was to keep up with the administrative side as well as the creative side of producing a record. Consequently, we reached out to George Martin to produce our next 7 albums!What is your favorite thing about performing today as opposed to 49 years ago?I think we truly appreciate every performance now, taking nothing for granted as we try to make the show the best it can be every night.

About 200 miles east of New Buffalo, Michigan five men decided to go for it in the music industry and man are we glad they did. Coming together they not only created anthems that have spanned generations, but memories for all who have seen them throughout the world. Grand Funk Railroad is an iconic rock band that is celebrating 50 years of rock and roll. Founding member Don Brewer took some time to talk with us about where the band has been and how performing is today as compared to 1969.

Starting as a love for music and a hobby in undergraduate at Indiana University, Straight No Chaser turned their love into a career that has taken them around the world.  Life in the music industry all started for the group almost a decade after the group graduated when one member posted a video of them singing “The 12 Days of Christmas” on YouTube in 2006. Since then this energetic, fun-loving group has sold over 1.6 million albums. On November 22, 2019 Straight No Chaser took the Silver Creek Event Center stage and gave a memorable performance! Before the show group member Steve Morgan took some time to answer a few questions about the band and life in the industry.
