Grand Funk’s legacy still reigns over the Classic Rock landscape more than 35 years after its birth in Flint, Michigan, and is a testament to the group’s influence and staying power. Mega hits, "We’re An American Band", "I’m Your Captain/Closer To Home", "Locomotion" and "Some Kind of Wonderful", still receive continuous airplay on Classic Rock radio.

When you hear a classic Charlie Daniels Band performance like "The Devil Went
Down to Georgia," you hear music that knows no clear genre. Is it a folk tale? A
southern boogie? A country fiddle tune? An electric rock anthem? The answer is,
yes, to all of that and more. And the same goes for "In America," "Uneasy Rider,"
"The South's Gonna Do It," "Long Haired Country Boy," "Still in Saigon," "The
Legend of Wooley Swamp," and the rest of a catalog that spans more than 35
years of making records. He brings his uncompromising style of music to Busch Gardens this summer. . |

With hits like “These Eyes” and “American Woman” and the emergence of classic rock radio stations throughout North America, The Guess Who has broadened its base of loyal followers to include the baby-boomer generation and today’s teenagers. They perform live at the Summer Nights Concert Series. |
