“I was young, I had never been in the studio, and I had no idea what to expect…I took a lot of inspiration from Tom Scholz’s ’board”: Grand Funk Railroad’s new guitarist Mark Chatfield goes way back with the band

.

Followers of Grand Funk Railroad will be aware that Bruce Kulick – who joined in 2000, four years after being jettisoned from Kiss – vacated his post in January 2024.

“I will forever cherish my time in Grand Funk these past 23 years,” he said at the time. “It was a great opportunity for my career and performing powerful classic hits with Don Brewer and Mel Schacher was a thrill for me.”
