Vicki Peterson

Vicki Peterson is a founding member of the 1980s group The Bangles, one of the most successful bands of that decade with over 6 million gold and platinum albums sold. They had a #1 hit “Walk Like An Egyptian” and the Top 10 songs “Eternal Flame” - the biggest single by an all female band in history. 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. Peterson 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 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. Vicki 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.
