Danny Seraphine Comes Home to Chicago with California Transit Authority Performing at Borders(R) Michigan Avenue Store

 ANN ARBOR, Mich., Aug. 2 /PRNewswire/ --    Who:        Danny Seraphine is one of the world's most highly-respected               rock drummers.  He grew up in Chicago and started playing               drums at the age of nine, eventually studying privately with               famed percussionist Bob Tillis.  Seraphine was the drummer,               percussionist and a founding member of the multi-million               selling, Grammy award wining band Chicago.  From 1967 to 1990,               Seraphine played on and helped produce 18 gold and 13 platinum               albums, 50 Top 40 hits, including 20 Top 10 singles, and five               number ones.  After running his own label and production               company for many years, Seraphine was introduced to Marc               Bonilla and developed a rapport.  Seraphine and Bonilla               initially put a band together to play for several charity               benefit shows.  The response was so overwhelming that they               decided to form California Transit Authority "CTA" and create               an album.  For Seraphine, this is the first time in 15 years               that he has played live with a band and 17 years since he               played in Chicago.    What:       Seraphine and CTA perform songs on their debut CD release,               "Full Circle," and sign copies.  Borders is the exclusive               retailer for CTA and "Full Circle."    When:       Thursday, August 9 at 7 p.m.    Where:      Borders               830 N. Michigan Ave.               Chicago, IL 60611               (312) 573-0564    Why:        Chicago fans can experience a special in-store performance               with Seraphine and CTA before their tour begins on August 10               and purchase their debut CD, "Full Circle" prior to its               national release.
