Peter Wolf is bringing rock ‘n’ roll to You Are What You Read this week with his all-new memoir, Waiting on the Moon: Artists, Poets, Drifters, Grifters, and Goddesses. Peter Wolf is best known as the lead vocalist of The J. Geils Band. In 1970 the band was signed by Jerry Wexler for Atlantic Records where they went on to release nine influential albums and earned a reputation as one of rock’s most exciting live acts. In 1979 they were signed by EMI America topping the charts world-wide with their hit songs “Freeze Frame,” “Love Stinks,” and “Centerfold.” Peter began his career as a solo artist in 1984 with his album, Lights Out. He collaborated with Aretha Franklin, Merle Haggard, John Lee Hooker, and Mick Jagger, among others. His album Sleepless was voted one of the top five hundred albums of all time by Rolling Stone. He currently tours with his band ‘The Midnight Travelers’ and will be releasing his ninth solo album in 2025.
