Join us for a lively conversation with Peter Wolf, legendary lead singer of The J. Geils Band and author of the current New York Times bestseller, "Waiting on the Moon: Artists, Poets, Drifters, Grifters, and Goddesses" (2025), a memoir of his eventful life, musical career, marriage to Faye Dunaway, and encounters with Muddy Waters, Bob Dylan, Mick Jagger, Marilyn Monroe, David Lynch, and many others.
Elvis Costello said, “This is the book I’ve been hoping Peter would write since we walked the streets of Paris together, back in the 20th Century. [It’s] a true account of his life, love and music told with unique humor and rare humility.”
A Creative Life Series conversation hosted by WAMC's Joe Donahue.
