Description

JIM PETERIK & WORLD STAGE, a concept rooted in musical and spiritual collaborations among artists and friends, has announced a new album, 'Roots & Shoots Vol.2,' out August 9, 2024, on Frontiers Music Srl. The album follows up the release of 'Roots & Shoots Vol.1' whose notable guests included Kelly Keagy (Night Ranger), Don Barnes (.38 Special), and Mark Farner (Grand Funk).

Volume 2 presents JIM's collaborations with Mike Reno, Jason Scheff, Toby Hitchcock, The Ides of March, Cathy Richardson (Jefferson Starship), and Neil Donnell (of Chicago). Among the "Shoots," Sophia Sheth and Kevin Farris appear along with Marc Scherer, who recorded a great album with PETERIK in 2015 entitled 'Risk Everything'.
Additionally, Dave Mikulskis sings the anthemic opener "American Dreamer".

WORLD STAGE is the best representation of JIM PETERIK's truly outstanding musical legacy: a testament to his songwriting abilities as one of the true wizards of melodic rock.
The JIM PETERIK & WORLD STAGE concept arose from the idea that the musical and spiritual collaboration of great artists and friends could be truly special.

This idea created a string of records that followed the now close-to-legendary debut album released in the year 2000, where PETERIK managed to present his collaboration with such rock luminaries as Dennis DeYoung (ex-Styx), Kevin Cronin (REO Speedwagon), Johnny Van Zant (Lynyrd Skynyrd), Don Barnes (.38 Special), Tom Kiefer (Cinderella) and many more.

That concept resurfaced in 2019 on the 'Winds of Change' album when JIM PETERIKwas joined by giants of American rock such as Dennis DeYoung again, Kevin Chalfant (ex-The Storm), Matthew and Gunnar Nelson, Kelly Keagy (Night Ranger), Mike Reno (Loverboy), Jason Scheff (ex-Chicago) and more.

Later on, PETERIK decided to dedicate an entire album to the 'Women who Rock the World' giving birth to the awesome album 'Tigress' which showed his collaboration with such outstanding singers and musicians like Jennifer Batten, Chloe Lowery, Rosa Laricchiuta, Chez Kane and so many more.

All those albums spotlight the many talents of JIM PETERIK, enhanced and embellished by a cast of noted singers and musicians.

With the 'Roots and Shoots' album, the Chicago-based artist offers a new concept where he presents his work equally split between Roots (classic rock stars) and Shoots(emerging rock stars).

'...Volume 1,' released in early 2024, featured Kevin Cronin (REO Speedwagon), Kelly Keagy (Night Ranger), Don Barnes (.38 Special), Mark Farner (Grand Funk) together with phenomenal new talents such as Colin Peterik (Jim's son!), Ashton Brooke Gill, Paul Childers, Leslie Hunt and Mark Mackay among others
