Jim Peterik is a true legend. He formed the Ides of March in 1964 at the age of 14 while attending high school in the western suburbs of Chicago. They had their first big hit when he turned 16 and then in 1970, their song "Vehicle" hit number 2 on the Billboard chart. This lead to him opening for some of the huge bands of the time, including Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, The Grateful Dead, The Allman Brothers, and Led Zeppelin. In 1973, The Ides of March took a hiatus and he formed the band Survivor. In 1990, he returned to his roots with the Ides of March and they have been playing ever since. In almost 60 years of being a professional, he has written approximately 5,000 songs (many cowritten for others) and has collected 100s of vintage guitars. A very interesting guy for sure; check out the show!
