You’re invited to Grammy™ Award winner Jim Peterik and his son Colin’s tandem CD release party this Saturday (April 11th) at FitzGeralds in Berwyn.
“This is the thrill of a lifetime, to be sharing the stage with my son”, says the elder Peterik.
Jim Peterik is well known as the singer/songwriter for The Ides Of March and Survivor in addition to his many songwriting credits for other artists. His latest project Lifeforce is quite a departure for the rocker – it’s smooth jazz featuring singer Lisa McLowry. The self-titled Lifeforce CD casts some of Peterik’s greatest hits such as Vehicle and The Eye Of The Tiger in a totally new light. Hear for yourself when Lifeforce jams at FitzGeralds.
Jim’s son Colin is the singer, songwriter and keyboardist for the very uniquely named Lobster Newberg. Fresh from their first national tour, Lobster Newberg will open the show, celebrating their second CD “Actress”.
As an extra added bonus, if you go to the FitzGeralds Saturday you will receive a golden ticket that can be redeemed at the merchandise table post-show for either a “Lifeforce” or “Actress” CD. Sweet! That sure makes the low $15 ticket price an even better deal.
If you want to hear Jim Peterik tell his fascinating rock story take a listen to my interview with him in Cara’s Basement. Be sure to listen to the entire episode – he does an absolutely amazing acoustic live performance of “Vehicle” at the end!
