Vicki Peterson & John Cowsill

Vicki Peterson Lead guitars of The Bangles, and Continental Drifters has teamed 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.

The duo will release their debut Americana album comprised of songs written by John’s late brothers, Barry and Bill Cowsill titled, Long After The Firedue April 12, 2025.

Vicki & John are already gaining attention and turning heads in 2024 with the LA Weekly writing a great review about their performance at The Troubadour, along with a feature about them in People Magazine. 

It all began with the songs exquisitely written by John’s brothers at various points in their all-too-short lives. These ‘Roy Orbison’ meets ‘The Everly Brothers’ tunes are true gems unearthed like treasures from The Cowsill family archives.

Vicki’s work with The Bangles includes the #1 hit “Walk Like An Egyptian”, and Top 10 songs such as “Eternal Flame”(ASCAP most played song 1988), “Manic Monday”, and Haze Shades of Winter. Throughout the 90’s, Vicki stayed active appearing on albums with Tom 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.

John has performed live and/or recorded work with Bob Dylan, Mamas & Papas, Harry Chapin, Maroon 5, Hermans Hermits, Mickey Dolenz (The Monkees), and Chuck Berry. John is also currently one of the lead singers for The Smithereens and the touring drummer for Peter Perrett (The Only Ones).
