CARY, N.C. -

Mark Farner, guitarist and lead vocalist for Grand Funk Railroad is the latest addition to a September concert at the Koka Booth Amphitheater.

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum and the John Entwistle Foundation are sponsoring the show.

According to a press release, Farner joins Blue Oyster Cult front-man Buck Dharma and Deep Purple and Rainbow lead vocalist Joe Lynn Turner, who were added to the lineup a couple weeks ago.

The concert will be set up with a rotating cast of front men backed by an "all star" house band made up of musicians from some of the most successful bands in rock history.

More headliners will be announced soon, with the next major announcement expected in a few weeks.

The concert is scheduled for September 20.

The late John Entwistle was the bass player for The Who, and all proceeds are going towards his foundation, which provides music education for underprivileged children, and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's educational outreach.
