Jim Peterik & World Stage

Jim Peterik & World Stage is a hard rock / melodic rock (AOR) collaborative musical project spearheaded by American songwriter and musician Jim Peterik. Drawing on decades of experience in rock, Peterik writes original material and invites distinguished vocalists and musicians—both legends and emerging talents—to participate. The concept is divided between “Roots” (well-established stars) and “Shoots” (rising voices), merging classic rock sensibilities with modern melodic flair.

Over the years, World Stage has featured guest appearances from artists such as Kevin Cronin (REO Speedwagon), Kelly Keagy (Night Ranger), Don Barnes (.38 Special), and many others. Their recent albums include Roots & Shoots Vol. 1 and Vol. 2, the latter explicitly labeled under the genre “Hard Rock.”
