About Don Felder
Don Felder was one of the original five members and former lead guitarist of the legendary band the Eagles.  Felder has been credited with adding a rock and roll edge to the Eagle's country sound, and wrote the music for its biggest hit "Hotel California.”

Felder and the Eagles hold the honor of having the first Platinum album certified by the Recording Industry Association of America.  That album, The Eagles' Their Greatest Hits 1971 – 1975, has sold more than 26 million copies.

In addition to his work with the Eagles, Felder has performed and recorded with musicians that span the musical spectrum from The Bee Gees, Joe Walsh, and Alice Cooper to Michael Jackson, Stevie Wonder, Elton John, and Barbra Streisand.

Felder was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1998, and is currently writing and recording songs for an upcoming solo project.  Felder is a New York Times best-selling author, recently publishing a book on his life with the Eagles called Heaven and Hell.
 
About Grand Funk Railroad
Generally acknowledged as one of the precursors to heavy metal, Grand Funk Railroad laid the groundwork for bands such as Foreigner, Journey, Van Halen, and Bon Jovi with its signature hard driving sound – a combination of soulful vocals, muscular instrumentation, and forceful pop melodies.

Since the band's inception in 1969, Grand Funk Railroad has had nineteen charted singles and eight Top 40 hits.  The band's megahits, "We're an American Band,” "Locomotion,” and "Some Kind of Wonderful,” still receive continuous airplay on Classic Rock radio.

In addition to its hit singles, Grand Funk Railroad has racked up 13 gold and 10 platinum records and sales in excess of 25 million copies worldwide.  It earned its most recent gold on May 10, 2002, for the band's greatest hits package Grand Funk Railroad – The Collectors Series.
Today the group includes original founding members Don Brewer (vocals and drums, writer and singer of the hit, "We're an American Band”) and bassist Mel Schacher. Joining Brewer and Schacher are true all stars featuring singer Max Carl (38 Special, Jack Mack and the Heart Attack, Max Carl, and Big Dance), lead guitarist Bruce Kulick (12 years with KISS and credits with Michael Bolton, Meatloaf, and Billy Squier) and keyboardist Tim Cashion (Bob Seger and Robert Palmer).
