speakers and thought "this is the next
singer I want to work with." I was in
communication with Serafino Perugino
of Frontiers Records, who wanted to put
a super group together with maybe an
established singer. It could've even been
Kevin Chalfant or Derek St. Holmes or
one of the tried and trues, but then I
came across Toby, did a demo, sent it to
Serafino, he actually flew out to meet
Toby and I in a Nashville studio and
signed us. I had the name Pride Of Lions
in my back pocket for many years, which
is such a Peterik name, and our first
album was simply called Pride Of Lions.
With the record industry now, if you sell
15,000 copies, that's like platinum back
in the '80s and the record sold 25,000
copies! We went overseas and we played
as Pride Of Lions in France, Germany,
album, which is coming out in January
on Capitol and the same team has a song
called "Sail Away." He played me the
master and it's fantastic! I'm a huge
Beach Boys fan. I mean it's like writing
with Paul McCartney or writing with
John Lennon. That's how big Brian
Wilson loomed in my past and present
and it's just a dream come true!
