“Closer to My Home” is the long-awaited, new album from legendary guitarist and singer/songwriter Mark Farner.

Bridging past and present, the grit of industry and the calloused hard work of a rural man, “Closer to My Home” champions Farner’s multi-faceted artistry. Celebrating the 55 th anniversary of the iconic hit “(I’m Your Captain) Closer to My Home” the album is highlighted with a re-record, finding Farner in exactly the same form as 1970.

“‘Closer to My Home’ comes from the idea that love is at the heart of all that I do, and music is my home.”

As one of the founding members, lead singer, lead guitarist, and wrote more than 90% of the Grand Funk music catalog, Farner has always been known as the energetic driving force on stage, the engine that pulled the original Grand Funk Railroad to the top of the charts. From his soulful voice and power rock riffs, to fueling the Funk with his atomic stage presence. His story and his imprint on music starts with Flint and since 1969 from his humble beginnings and a blue-collar outlook, Farner has captained a global crusade for love, peace and freedom and became a rock ‘n’ roll icon.

More than 60 years later – he commands the stage with the same intensity performing epic hits that defined a generation – “I’m Your Captain (Closer to Home)”, “Bad Time”, “Some Kind of Wonderful”, “Foot Stompin’ Music”, “Heartbreaker”, “Rock and Roll Soul”, “Locomotion”, “Mean Mistreater” and “We’re An American Band”. “Closer to My Home” is on Righteous Rock Records and is distributed by MVD Entertainment Group and is available via vinyl and CD.
