North Central College presents the Jim Peterik & World Stage show at 8 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 16, in Wentz Concert Hall. Peterik's career has spanned five decades as a consummate composer and performer. Peterik has been responsible for many unforgettable songs that have sold millions of albums worldwide and garnered numerous 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 and instantly recognizable.
This is the 16th consecutive year that Peterik will mount his now-legendary World Stage shows. Peterik will once again bring this event to Wentz Concert Hall, and it 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. The template was cast by having Peterik 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.
The celebrity lineup for the January show includes Kelly Keagy from Night Ranger, Alex Ligertwood from Santana, Toby Hitchcock from Pride of Lions, blues rock guitarist/singer Anthony Gomes, and The Ides of March! 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.
Tickets are $75 and $65; call 630-637-SHOW (7469) or visit northcentralcollege.edu/showtix.
