Peter Wolf has performed all over the world, with artists from Aretha Franklin and Merle Haggard to Mick Jagger and Van Morrison, but he always seems to find his way back to Massachusetts.

Before he was the frontman for the J. Geils Band-turned-chart-topping solo artist, Wolf was Woofa Goofa — the "all night" deejay at Boston's legendary rock station, WBCN. Jim Braude was joined by Wolf ahead of a special New Year's Eve show at the Cabot Street Cinema Theatre in Beverly.
