Wolfgang Van Halen joins Matt Pinfield for this week’s episode of New & Approved. As a young Los Angeles musician, Wolf is certainly helping to keep rock music alive and thriving through his impressive career.

Wolfgang chats with Matt about the excitement of being nominated for a Grammy before discussing how he started playing music as a child. While his father Eddie Van Halen helped, he also let Wolf find his own journey as he explored drums, guitar, bass, and keys.

Wolf recently released the record Mammoth WVH and he goes into detail about the album’s single “Epiphany.” He goes on to chat about his greatest influences including Prince, Dave Grohl, Blink 182, and AC/DC and what inspired him to play every instrument.

Wolfgang Van Halen is currently on tour with Dirty Honey and will be performing in Los Angeles at The Wiltern on March 2nd!
