BOSTON – Singer-songwriter Peter Wolf became enshrined in Boston Thursday as Mayor Marty Walsh declared April 14 to be the former J. Geils Band frontman's official Day, citing his "indelible contributions to American music."
The mayor made his official proclamation at the New England Center and Home for Veterans, where the musician gave a private performance for residents, featuring selections from his latest release, which celebrates enduring life's changes.
BOSTON – On Friday, Greater Boston residents will celebrate the second annual "One Boston Day," which Mayor Marty Walsh officially designated in a proclamation on Monday, commemorating the April 15, 2013, Boston Marathon bombings and the public response spurred by the attack.
"The camaraderie and spirit of togetherness continued beyond that day, and that week, and that year, fostered the essence of togetherness and resiliency," Walsh said in the proclamation. "The courage shown by Bostonians, both far and near, set in stone the spirit of the city and set the tone for the future."
