About Peter & the Wolves:"Big-haired, large-'burned, leather-clad, baby-faced frontman Peter "Howlin' Pete" Cormier and the rest of his fresh, stylish, rockabilly crew are setting the rockabilly scene on fire and hearts all a-flutter." Peter started this band in 2011 with rhythm at the roots, and the purpose of creating a hoppin' dance floor at every show. He writes his songs in the style of the great rock n' rollers from the 1950s like Little Richard, Chuck Berry and Buddy Holly. Over the years, it has grown into a powerful touring act, traveling from Canada to the USA, England and Italy with a rotating line-up, featuring core members Howlin' Pete on the piano and guitar, and Meg Thompson on the saxophone.Sing along with Peter & the Wolves and dance like nothing can stop you.
