concert series premieres

with “DRUMS,” starring Legendary Session and Touring drummers Danny Seraphine and Joe Vitale.,

with Special Guest Vocalist Kenny Cetera, and featuring Philadelphia's Patchwork & the Patchwork

Horns, on Sunday, September 22, 2013, 5:00

p.m.

Danny and Joe anchored the rhythm sections

of two of the most world-famous bands in

music history, Chicago and The Eagles,

respectively. Both can measure the gold,

platinum, and multi-platinum albums they've

played on by the pound.

Danny is a founding member of

Chicago, the iconic “rock band with horns”

that dominated the charts in the 1970s, with 5 consecutive No. 1 albums. He currently

plays with CTA – California Transit Authority, a critically

acclaimed jazz-rock powerhouse described by many as “Chicago

on steroids.” Legendary drummer Buddy Rich once described

Danny as one of his favorite drummers. You could not turn on

popular radio during the 1970s and not hear Danny's grooves.

And then, he wrote a book about it, Street Player: My Chicago

Story.

Joe's touring credits are a mile long, and you could fill an iPod

with his body of work. If you saw the Eagles on their 1980 "Eagles Live" tour and album,

you heard Joe. If you saw Peter Frampton's 1976-77

"Frampton Come Alive!" Tour, you heard Joe. He has

drummed for John Lennon, Crosby Stills Nash &

(occasionally) Young, Dan Fogelberg, Jackson Browne,

Bonnie Raitt, Linda Ronstadt, the Beach Boys, Boz

Skaggs, Van Morrison, Albert Collins, Bill Wyman and

Keith Richards, to name a bunch – and there are bunches more. If you heard Joe Walsh 's

“Rocky Mountain Way,” you heard Joe's drums - and songwriting (he co-wrote the song).

His creative partnership with Walsh extends back to 1971. And then, he wrote a book about

it – really, his wife Susie wrote down Joe's stories -- entitled Joe Vitale: Backstage Pass.

Special Guest vocalist Kenny Cetera sang on 3 Billboard Top 20 hits from

the multi-platinum Chicago XVII album, including “You're the Inspiration,”

“Stay the Night,” and "Along Comes A Woman." Kenny also recorded with

Richard Marx, Kenny Rogers, Julio Iglesias, David Foster, and his brother Peter

Cetera, among others.

Philadelphia's own Patchwork is the backing band for this

event. There will be horns!

A portion of the proceeds from this event benefits the

Ellie Reynolds ALS Foundation (www.livingwithALS.org).

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), commonly known as Lou

Gehrig's Disease, is a devastating progressive neuromuscular disease. The Foundation's

mission is to provide people living with ALS and their caregivers with the day-to-day

comforts they need to achieve a high quality of life at little or no cost to them.

The Legendary Sessions DRUMS is the first of a series of concerts exploring musical

instruments, and the Legendary Session and Touring musicians who have defined the art of

how each instrument is played, on recordings and on tour.

About EuroExport Entertainment Corporation: Larry Evans formed EuroExport

Entertainment in Austin, Texas quite coincidentally on the eighth day of the eighth month

of the eighty-eighth year of the 20th Century – it did not occur to him that this happened

on 8/8/88 until four days later, while reviewing the charter documents.

The story starts a few years earlier, in May of 1985. Larry, in partnership with the late Peter Butcher,

formed an international music licensing service under the EuroExport trade-name that marketed master

recordings – created at Peter's Austin recording studio, Europa Sound Centre -- to foreign record companies

and music publishers. Larry developed a network of contacts in 42 countries worldwide, many of whom he is

still in touch with today. Larry expanded EuroExport's business into music publishing and artist management

in 1988 when he formed Raving Cleric Music, Cueball Artist Management, and EuroExport Recording Group

(now RCM Recordings) as additional units of EuroExport. These are the seeds that grew into the complete

repertoire and artist development company that EuroExport Entertainment Corporation is today.

Nick Vance joined EuroExport Entertainment in 2002. Nick is a seasoned music, film and hotel industry

veteran who began his career as tour manager and promoter for Grammy®-Award winning disco group The

Trampps (“Disco Inferno”). During the early 1990s, Nick provided personal and tour management services to

two Atlantic Records recording artists, international dance sensations Linear and pop group Nice & Wild, and

to recording artist Sweet Sensation. Nick coordinated production of Vanessa Williams’ 1992 performance at

the Grammy® Awards telecast and also provided staging services for Elton John, Stevie Nicks, Billy Joel, Bob

Seger, Huey Lewis, Genesis, Madonna and David Bowie among others.
