GRAND FUNK RAILROAD Frontman Added To ROCK HALL Benefit Concert Lineup

June 10, 2008

Organizers of the benefit concert for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum and the John Entwistle Foundation have confirmed that legendary GRAND FUNK RAILROAD guitarist and lead vocalist Mark Farner has been added to the September 20, 2008 concert lineup. Farner will join BLUE YSTER CULT frontman Buck Dharma and DEEP PURPLE and RAINBOW lead vocalist Joe Lynn Turner onstage, along with former members of the JOHN ENTWISTLE BAND, in what has become one of the most anticipated concert events of 2008.

Tickets to the September 20, 2008 event at Koka Booth Amphitheatre in Cary, North Carolina are now on sale via Ticketmaster and the Koka Booth box office.

The next major headliner to join the show will be announced in several weeks. Later this week concert organizers will also announce some of the emerging artists that have been selected to play the benefit concert, as well as announce that a popular band with Triangle area-roots will also be added to the show bill.

Proceeds from the concert will benefit both the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum's educational outreach and the John Entwistle Foundation's program of providing musical instruments and music lessons to disadvantaged youths through the public library systems in communities across the country.
