Rock drummer from band Chicago to play in Kalispell
Rob Spencer and the Drum Den are hosting rock musician Danny Seraphine Sept. 23.
The evening of music and dialogue will run from 7 to 9 p.m. at Glacier High School.
A true giant of jazz rock drumming, Seraphine built his reputation as Chicago’s drummer from 1967 to 1990. His playing anchored classic songs such as “25 or 6 to 4” and “Saturday in the Park,” combining the driving energy of rock with the swing and nuance of jazz.
After leaving Chicago, Seraphine co-founded California Transit Authority with guitarist Mark Bonilla. He recently released a new album, “Promise,” as well as an instructional DVD and autobiography.
At the Kalispell concert, Seraphine will debut songs from his new album; demonstrate grooves from his new DVD, “The Art of Jazz-Rock Drumming”; and discuss his book, “Street Player: My Chicago Story,” which details his years with the band.
Doors for the concert open at 6 p.m.
Tickets are $20 each and are on sale at the Drum Den, 22 Fifth Ave. W., Kalispell.
