Peter Wolf’s memoir, "Waiting on the Moon: Artists, Poets, Drifters, Grifters and Goddesses," is a powerful meditation on the music business. Authored from his unique perspective at the heart of the industry, Wolf’s autobiography makes for an unusual celebrity narrative — rather than concentrating on self-aggrandizing storylines, the musician devotes his writerly energy to bringing the look, sound and feel of as-it-happened rock history to life.
A native of the Bronx, Wolf spent his youth soaking up New York City’s music scene, especially the Apollo Theater’s array of soul, rhythm & blues and gospel performers. After moving to Boston, he attended Tufts University’s School of the Museum of Fine Arts. In 1967, Wolf and drummer Stephen Jo Bladd joined the J. Geils Band.
