Mark Farner, formerly of Grand Funk Railroad, and the Commodores will take center
stage during the Destin Seafood Festival’s 30th
celebration, set to take place October 3-5, along
the Destin harbor.
Mark Farner is the former voice, guitarist, and
songwriter of one of the 1970s biggest bands,
Grand Funk Railroad, which earned 12 platinum
and 15 gold albums. Hits include We’re an American Band, Foot-Stompin’ Music, and I’m your Captain (Closer to Home). Farner has also released
critically acclaimed albums as a solo artist.
For more than three decades, the Commodores have remained a force in the music
industry. Just like the hit Brick House, the Commodores have created a foundation that just
won’t budge. With hits like Night Shift, Machine
Gun, and Sail On, the group has sold more than
60 million records for Motown and has since
begun its own label, Commodores Records and
Entertainment.
During the festival, more than 25,000 visitors
and locals will pack Harbor Walk Village alongside Destin’s docks to enjoy fresh local seafood,
live entertainment, arts and crafts booths,
children’s activities and more.
