Larry Braggs - lead vocals.  

Larry has established a mighty reputation since 2000 as lead vocalist for Tower of Power.  Emilio Castillo describes him as ‘the best singer we’ve had since the 70s.’  His flair, soul, and showmanship – not to mention his three-octave range, from pure soul silk to husky wail – make him a superb front man. His influences, from James Brown to Charlie Wilson and Al Green, give CTA songs a soulful, funky edge.  As Danny Seraphine said to Larry, “Everything gets funkier when a brother sings.”  For Larry, the opportunity to sing with CTA is a further broadening of his experience into rock/funk.  Larry describes the new CTA band as ‘Chicago on steroids.’
