THE J. GEILS BAND
The J. Geils Band is an American rock band formed in 1967 in Worcester, Massachusetts, under the leadership of guitarist J. Geils. The band played R&B-influenced blues rock in the 1970s before moving towards a more new wave sound in the 1980s. Since its initial break-up in 1985, the band has reunited several times. Their biggest hit was their 1981 single, “Centerfold”, which charted No. 1 in the United States in early 1982. (More from Wikipedia)
Tret Fure, a multi-talented women’s music artist, has more of a hard-rock edge to her music than most of the genre’s artists; she grew up in the Midwest and became a professional musician when she was 16. Her first solo album, Tret Fure (1973) was produced by Lowell George of Little Feat; and she later toured as the opening act for several major rock bands that included Yes, the J. Geils Band and Poco.
