SUMMARY:Vicki Peterson (The Bangles) and John Cowsill (The Beach Boys) with opener Beth Bombara
DESCRIPTION:VICKI PETERSON & JOHN COWSILL\nBIOGRAPHY\nVicki Peterson of The Bangles (whose work includes #1 hit “Walk Like An Egyptian and several other Top 10 songs\, such as Eternal Flame which is the biggest single by an all female band in history teams up with John Cowsill\, drummer/vocalist for The Beach Boys for over 23 years and original member of the platinum selling family band\, The Cowsills to lovingly present their debut Americana album comprised of songs written by John’s late brothers\, Barry and Bill Cowsill titled\, Long After The Fire.\n. . .\nMORE ABOUT US\nVicki is a founding member of the 1980’s group The Bangles\, one of the most successful bands of that decade with over 6 million gold and platinum albums sold. Their music has been synced on screen in everything from Austin Powers to Stranger Things and has transcended generations with more than 6 million current monthly listeners on streaming platforms\, 390 million views on TikTok\, and over half a billion channel views on YouTube as of 2024. \nPeterson later wrote and performed with her good friend (and eventual sister-in-law) Susan Cowsill as The Psycho Sisters. The duo soon found themselves absorbed into the critically acclaimed New Orleans songwriters collective The Continental Drifters and remain with them today. Throughout the 90’s\, Vicki stayed active appearing on albums withTom Petty\, John Doe\, Hootie & The Blowfish\, Belinda Carlisle and also toured with The Go-Go’s on their 1994-1995 reunion tour. The Bangles reunited in the 21st century to release four more albums. \nAt 7 years old\, John began working in clubs\, singing and playing drums with his family. The Cowsills became a worldwide sensation in the late 1960’s playing The Ed Sullivan Show\, and Johnny Carson Show programs both 3 times\, The Johnny Cash Show twice and enjoyed several Top 20 hits including “Hair” (#1 in four countries and #2 on US Billboard) The Rain\, The Park\, & Other Things” (#2 on US Billboard with over 3 million copies sold). In 1981\, John landed on the Tommy Tutone hit\, “867-5309 (Jenny).” He also toured with Jan and Dean before becoming a mainstay of the Beach Boys touring band\, playing guitar\, piano\, and finally sitting at the drum kit for over two decades playing an average of 180 concerts per year. John made many television appearances with the band including Good Morning America 7 times\, The Today Show 6 times. \nBeth Bombara \nIt’s not that it’s retro\, really\, but there is something of a different era about her music – an earnest\, organic depth that feels natural and easy. Bombara’s songwriting lives in the 4 corners of folk\, blues\, americana and rock\, and her ability to float between them captures her essence. Bombara spent years on the road in other bands before encouragement from peers led her to start writing and performing her own music. “I never set out to be a lead singer\,” she admits. But now\, writing and singing has become her favorite thing.
