Danny Seraphine’s Chicago Legacy

CHICAGO INITIALLY gained fame opening for music legends such as Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Led Zeppelin, Bruce Springsteen, and the Beach Boys, hitting its stride almost immediately after their debut effort, Chicago Transit Authority, a double album, came out in 1969.

The iconic group that captured the hearts of millions of fans has earned 23 gold, 18 platinum, and 8 multi-platinum albums to date. They have had five number-one albums and 21 top-ten singles. On April 8, 2016, they were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame at Barclay’s Center in New York.

From the beginning, Seraphine, as the drummer, was always the backbone of the operation. It was his job to keep everyone on time and on balance. He set the pace and carried it through to the end, no matter what. In 1990, after 23 years of performing, composing, and recording albums with Chicago, Seraphine experienced a jarring parting of ways with the bandmates that he considered brothers. The rift threw his life into chaos. Together they had toured the world and created one of the most enduring American songbooks of all time. He left music behind for 15 years, focusing his creative energy on producing, as well as working with a variety of Broadway musical and theatrical projects. After grueling decades spent on the road, Seraphine settled in Colorado and seized the opportunity to devote more time to his family, deepening his bonds with all six of his children.

In the end, it was a request to play a benefit show for a fellow drummer that pulled Seraphine out of seclusion and sparked a musical rebirth. That night, basking in the glow of a standing ovation, Seraphine realized how much he missed performing.

In 2007, spiritually and creatively reinvigorated, Seraphine returned to the stage with his new jazz-rock powerhouse group, California Transit Authority (CTA) often described as “Chicago on steroids”—and he made peace with his past with the refreshingly candid memoir Street Player: My Chicago Story (Wiley).

Critically acclaimed as an instrumentalist and composer, Rolling Stone magazine has ranked “the father of jazz rock” as one of the top 100 drummers of all time.

Ho Ho Hoey

This Boston born guitar player & solo artist has been touring for over two decades with 20 albums over the span of his career. Among them is his very popular, Ho Ho Hoey Complete Collection, which combines all 3 volumes of his holiday albums, capturing 37 of your favorite Christmas classics.

Hoey has been a driving force behind instrumental rock Christmas music since 1995 after his version of “The Twelve Days Of Christmas” hit the airwaves with its crunchy guitars and metal flavor. Gary’s annual Ho Ho Hoey Rockin’ Holiday Tour has become a tradition with radio stations and families coast-to-coast. Hoey’s live show encompasses everything from his holiday music to the older hits like “Hocus Pocus” to new songs from his latest album, Dust & Bones. It’s a must see show for adults and kids alike.

After more than two decades of touring it’s also made him fortunate enough to give back in the process, helping the Veterans with clothing drives, Toys for Tots and food drives. Hoey’s music is featured in Hallmark greeting cards and the Christmas movie, “Deck The Halls” staring Danny Devito. Hoey’s rockin holiday show is a family friendly all ages event. Gary comes out after every show to sign autographs and take pictures with the fans. Get together and celebrate this holiday season as only Hoey can.

Taz Taylor

Taz Taylor was exposed at a very early age to the golden era of Rock Guitar playing. Michael Schenker in UFO and then in his own band MSG, Gary Moore in his late-70s/early-80s heyday, Randy Rhoads and Jake E. Lee and of course the early Van Halen albums, all left an indelible mark on the musical psyche of Taz.
