Wolf’s 2026 tour will follow the March 2025 release of his acclaimed memoir, Waiting on the Moon: Artists, Poets, Drifters, Grifters, and Goddesses.

An official description of the book called it “a treasure trove of vignettes.” The 352-page publication features Wolf’s recollections and anecdotes about his 60-year music career, his life growing up in the Bronx borough of New York City, and much more.

Waiting on the Moon includes Wolf’s reminiscences of his college years in Boston, where he shared an apartment with famous director David Lynch. It also features Peter’s recollections of his adventures with The J. Geils Band. The group’s success and popularity gave Wolf the opportunity to meet and mingle with such music legends and celebrities as The Rolling Stones, Van Morrison, Sly Stone, author Tennessee Williams, and filmmaker Alfred Hitchcock.

The book also touches on Wolf’s five-year marriage to Oscar-winning actress Faye Dunaway during the 1970s.

Wolf promoted Waiting on the Moon with a series of Q&A events and signing appearances in March and April 2025.

Peter’s most recent music tour, which took place during the summer of 2024, was dubbed “Waiting on the Moon: An Acoustic Evening of Adventures, Stories and Songs.” The concerts included a storyteller element that featured Wolf sharing anecdotes that later appeared in the memoir.
