Jim 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. Peterik's hit songs "Eye Of The Tiger" and "Vehicle" have become modern classics and instantly recognizable.
This is the 17th year Peterik will mount his now legendary World Stage show. 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 this year's show includes: The Ides of March, Mark Reno from Loverboy, Nelson, Toby Hitchcock from Pride of Lions, Cathy Richardson from Jefferson Starship, American Idol finalist Leslie Hunt, Colin Peterik, Riley Pettrone, and the amazing World Stage Band & Singers.
