Jazz at the Oxford Presents - Danny Seraphine's Evening of Chicago - The Authentic Sound of a Rock Legend
Presented by Central Oregon Daily News

Join us for a weekend with Danny Seraphine, Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame inductee and cofounder / original Drummer of the band Chicago and his All-Star band CTA (California, Transit Authority) with Ed Roth, Marc Bonilla, Travis Davis, and Sara Niemietz.
"Daniel Peter "Danny" Seraphine (born August 28, 1948) is an American drummer, record producer, theatrical producer and film producer. He is best known for being the original drummer and founding member of the rock group Chicago, a tenure which lasted from February 1967 to May 1990."
"In early 2006, Danny Seraphine debuted a new band, California Transit Authority (CTA), featuring himself on drums, Marc Bonilla on lead guitar, Mick Mahan on bass guitar, Ed Roth and Peter Fish on keyboards, Mike Wallace on guitar, and Sara Niemietz on vocals. Seraphine and Bonilla initially put the band together to play for several charity benefit shows.
Included in the new band's repertoire are several Chicago songs, including "Make Me Smile," "25 or 6 to 4," "South California Purples," "Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is?" and Steve Winwood's "I'm A Man".
CTA released their first studio album, Full Circle, on August 14, 2007, followed by a tour of the United States. The band's second CD Sacred Ground was released on March 21, 2013."
