S1 E10: Don Brewer

Don Brewer is a founding member, drummer, and vocalist of Grand Funk Railroad, one of the biggest American rock bands of the 1970s. Known for his powerful, hard-driving drumming and unmistakable vocals, Brewer sang lead on the band's #1 smash "We're an American Band" and co-wrote many of Grand Funk's best-known songs.

From the band's legendary 1971 Shea Stadium concert to a string of gold and platinum albums, Brewer helped create the muscular, distinctly American sound that made Grand Funk a staple of classic-rock radio. He has also worked with artists including Bob Seger and remained a driving force behind Grand Funk Railroad for decades.

In this episode of Stan and the Fan, Don joins Grant and Stan Sheldon for stories from more than five decades of rock & roll—including the records, the road, and the remarkable history of one of America's most successful rock bands. Plus, Stan meets Sweet Sweet Connie while tripping on acid.
