Formed in Worchester, MA, The J. Geils band started out as the J. Geils Blues Band. They dropped the word “blues” in the 70’s and became one of the most exciting touring bands combining blues, R&B, Doo-Wop, soul and rock. They built a huge following in the US with their energetic live show featuring the charismatic stage-antics of lead singer Peter Wolf and introduced rock harmonica as a lead instrument, courtesy of Magic Dick! By the time they played their second gig at Cortland’s Lusk Field House in March 1978, they had changed record labels due to waning singles success and shortened their name to “Geils.” They wouldn’t have another chart hit until two years later with “Love Stinks”.
