Danny Seraphine - Post-Chicago

Post-Chicago

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 Tower of Power singer Larry Braggs 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 with the working title "Promise" is due to be released in early 2012.

2009 saw the release of Lonely Street, a film for which Seraphine served as an executive producer and the music supervisor. In 2010 Danny published his autobiography "Street Player- My Chicago Story". That same year he released the biographical and instructional DVD "The Art of Jazz Rock Drumming" produced by The Drum Channel
