We have had his full band as well as the acoustic show. What’s my favorite? I have to go with the acoustic show. What I love about this stripped down evening is that you can really hear just what a great singer Peter Wolf is. He is also a great story teller…stories of a competely fascinating life. There will be some cool treatments of some familiar songs from his solo albums and his hits, $45, Stone Mountain Arts Center, 695 Dugway Road, Brownfield.
