Peter Wolf, born in the Bronx NY, became a rock ’n’ roll convert at the age of 11 after attending an Alan Freed revue that included performances by Chuck Berry, Buddy Holly, Jerry Lee Lewis, and others. Although at first he aspired to a career as a painter and studied at the Boston Museum School of Fine Arts, he experienced a life-changing epiphany after jumping onstage with a band of fellow art students at a loft party forming one of Boston’s early rock bands, the Hallucinations.

Shortly thereafter, Wolf secured a job as an all-night DJ on the fledgling FM radio station WBCN, where he adopted the persona of the “Woofa Goofa” and spun obscure rock ’n’ roll and early rhythm and blues. His encyclopedic musical knowledge came in handy when he and some like-minded Boston players formed the J. Geils Band, much of whose early repertoire was drawn from Wolf’s vast record collection. 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 worldwide with their hit songs “Freeze Frame,” “Love Stinks,” and “Centerfold.”

With the 1984 album Lights Out, Wolf began his career as a solo artist. In the ensuing years he collaborated with Aretha Franklin, Merle Haggard, John Lee Hooker, and Mick Jagger, among others. His album Sleepless was voted one of the top 500 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. He lives and works from his home base in Boston, Massachusetts.
