Ides of March and Early Years
Peterik started performing in 1964 with some of his schoolmates in Berwyn, Illinois, as The Ides of March, named by Larry Millas "after learning about it in history class," Millas stated. Their hits included "Vehicle," "You Wouldn't Listen" and "L.A. Goodbye" in the late 1960s and early 1970s.
In the early 1970s Peterik wrote several songs recorded by the jazz-rock band Chase.
In 1976, he released a solo album, Don't Fight the Feeling, and toured with several of the era's most popular bands, including Heart and Boston.
