Returning to Wentz Concert Hall, Peterik’s show promises to be another powerhouse of hit songs, virtuoso playing, stunning vocals and unexpected twists and turns. World Stage began as a CD of Peterik exploring new styles of music, written and sung with some of his friends and colleagues. He and his guests perform their collaborations, along with their own hits, in front of Peterik’s handpicked band, featuring the hottest and most versatile musicians he could find.
Brief Bio / Overview
The celebrity lineup for the January show is still being finalized, but some past World Stage alumni include Don Barnes, Jeff Carlisi and Donnie VanZant from .38 Special; Kevin Cronin from REO Speedwagon; David Pack from Ambrosia; Jack Blades, Kelly Keagy and Joel Hoekstra from Night Ranger; Cathy Richardson from Jefferson Airplane; Mike Reno from Loverboy; The Ides of March; and Rik Emmett from Triumph.
Peterik’s career has spanned five decades. As a consummate composer and performer, he has been responsible for many unforgettable songs that have sold millions of albums worldwide and garnered many awards, including Grammy and Oscar nominations. As founding member of Survivor, Peterik and the group’s songs “Eye Of The Tiger” and “The Search Is Over” have become modern classics.
