Jim Peterik's World Stage concept, rooted in the idea of musical and spiritual collaborations among artists and friends, has spawned a series of records. The most recent version of this concept features Kevin Cronin (REO Speedwagon, backed by the whole band on "Dangerous Combination"), Kelly Keagy (Night Ranger), Don Barnes (.38 Special), Mark Farner (Grand Funk), alongside emerging talents like Colin Peterik (Jim's son!), Ashton Brooke Gill, Paul Childers, Leslie Hunt, Mark Mackay, and a captivating duet between Dave Mikulskis and Lisa McClowry. World Stage embodies Jim Peterik's outstanding musical legacy, a testament to his songwriting prowess as one of the true icons of melodic rock. Throughout his career, Jim Peterik has penned some of rock's unforgettable songs, including "Vehicle" by The Ides Of March (where he served as lead vocalist), hits such as "Eye Of The Tiger," "The Search Is Over," "High On You," "I Can't Hold Back," and classics for .38 Special like "Hold On Loosely," "Caught Up In You," "Fantasy Girl," and "Rockin' Into The Night." He's also contributed to "Heavy Metal" with Sammy Hagar, among other projects. Presently, Peterik is a vital part of Pride of Lions alongside vocalist Toby Hitchcock, enjoying high esteem in the recording artist and songwriting community, not only on the Frontiers label but within the broader melodic rock scene.
