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. Borders is excited to welcome Seraphine and
CTA to the Michigan Avenue store.
