Thoughts produce electric vibrations while emotions create magnetic pulses. Combined together they are an electromagnetic vibrational frequency. That just may be the reason to live from your heart and not the mind.

Bob Gretz and I share our loving admiration and feelings to our one-of-a-kind friend, Danny Israel.

He could fix anything and was proficient in both the left and right parts of the brain. Very few people on planet Earth have that ability.

info_outlineFrom Mark Farner’s humble beginnings in1969 and his blue-collar outlook, he’s captured a global crusade for love, peace and freedom and become am rock ‘n’ roll icon. His new album "Closer To My Home" lands on November 8. “Closer to My Home” is Mark’s long-awaited work bridging the past and present, the grit of the music industry and the calloused hard work of a rural man, It also champions Mark’s multi-faceted artistry. Celebrating the 55th 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.
From the rebellious “Anymore” to the endearing “Darlin” and to the defiant “Same Game” Farner’s journey as one of rock’s statesmen is undeniable. “Façade”, “Friends For Forever”, “Real”, “Tiny Fingers” Farner’s journey has always called him towards love and light. Mark collaborated with Jim Peterik (The Ides of March, Survivor) on the CD-exclusive “Friends Forever”*. He also enlisted the songwriter of multi-platinum rocker Mark Slaughter on “Same Game”; Slaughter produced “Closer to My Home”.
“These songs are honest and from my heart,” Farner said. “The collaboration with Jim (Peterik) and Mark (Slaughter) came from a place of trust and that makes the whole experience so much more rewarding as songwriters. The audience can feel that, and these songs reflect those very human moments that you can’t find creating a song from a computer. Closer to My Home’ comes from the idea that love is at the heart of all that I do, and music is my home.”
Mark Farner’s American Band continues to tour and in celebration of the 55th anniversary of the ground-breaking hit, “I’m Your Captain (Closer To Home)”, the band is coming to a town near you, with additional dates to be announced.
