After dropping out of the University of Wisconsin after two years, Peter Stampfel began supporting himself by playing music, living in New York, Florida, Chicago, and California. In 1963, Stampfel formed the folk-pop unit Holy Modal Rounders with Steve Weber. Stampfel also played in the bands Bottle Caps and the Fugs in the '80s. In 1994, he and guitarist Gary Lucas formed the Du-Tels, a duo to play originals and covers of Charlie Patton, the Stanley Brothers, and other such personal heroes. Stampfel made his belated solo debut with 1995's You Must Remember This, in which he reinterpreted classic songs of the '30s and '40s. He continued to perform and record with a variety of ad hoc ensembles. ~ Joslyn Layne
