The undeniable Grammy-winning, rockstar, master songwriter, storyteller, singer, multi-instrumentalist, and producer Jim Peterik’s career can hardly be summed up in a 366-page book, never mind a podcast intro. Let’s just say that his songs have made it into the top 10 over the period of four decades and in two separate centuries. He has multiple, multi-platinum releases and over 1,000 published songs with acts like Ides of March, Survivor, The Beach Boys, Cheap Trick, Reba McIntyre, Sammy Hagar, .38 Special, Pride of Lions, Van Zant, and so many others.
