Wolfgang Van Halen has prepa red a lifetime to make his first impression. The songwriter\, vocalist\, a nd multi-instrumentalist worked tirelessly towards the introduction of MAM MOTH [Explorer1]\, his self-titled 2021 debut album. Playing every instrum ent and singing each and every note\, his music presents a personal and po werful perspective\, balancing memorable hooks and tight technicality. As many times as audiences have experienced his talent alongside the likes of Tremonti\, Clint Lowery\, and of course\, Van Halen\, they meet Wolf as a n individual for the very first time now.\n\n \;\n\n“You only have o ne chance to make a first impression\, and I wanted to do so to the best o f my abilities\,” he affirms. “Throughout the whole process\, I was fi nding who I am musically and by the end\, I got a pretty good handle on a sound I can claim for myself.”\n\n \;\n\nHis father often played gui tar against his mother’s pregnant belly\, and Wolf absorbed those vibrat ions from the womb. At the age of 10\, his Pop gave him a drum kit for his birthday. To this day\, Wolf considers himself “a drummer before anythi ng else.” As he developed as a musician\, he learned how to play guitar in order to perform “316” — which his father penned for him — at a 6th-grade talent show.\n\n \;\n\nIt may come as a surprise\, but outs ide of his father teaching him one drumbeat from an AC/DC song\, Wolfgang taught himself every instrument.  “My dad wasn’t the best teacher\, ” he laughs. “I would ask him to play something\, and then he would ju st proceed to be Eddie Van Halen. He would look at me and say\, ‘Do that .’ to which I would laugh and sarcastically reply\, ‘Sure thing\, no p roblem.’”\n\n \;\n\nIn the summer of 2006 when he was 15 years old \, Wolf grabbed a bass and began noodling. While at the legendary 5150 Stu dios\, his impromptu woodshedding inspired Eddie and Uncle Alex. Endless f amily jam sessions followed. By summer’s end\, Wolfgang phoned David Lee Roth’s manager and by winter Roth showed up for rehearsal. They rocked “On Fire\,” and “That’s how the 2007 tour began\,” says Wolf.\n\ n \;\n\nNot only did Wolf canvas the world with Van Halen while in hig h school\, but he also held down the low end on 2012’s A Different Kind of Truth—which debuted at #2 on the Billboard Top 200. When not on tour with Van Halen\, he cut bass for Tremonti’s critically acclaimed Cauteri ze [2015] and Dust [2016] in addition to joining the band on the road. In 2019\, Wolf handled drums and also played bass on half of the 10 songs for Clint Lowery’s solo debut\, God Bless The Renegades.\n\n \;\n\nIn t he midst of all this\, at the beginning of 2015\, Wolf broke ground on wha t would become MAMMOTH with producer Michael “Elvis” Baskette [Alter B ridge\, Slash] behind the board. Wolf began to embrace his voice\, inspire d by everyone from his father\, to bands like AC/DC\, Foo Fighters\, Nine Inch Nails\, TOOL\, and Jimmy Eat World. “I’ve been singing my whole l ife\, but it wasn’t until MAMMOTH that I really found my voice. Elvis wa s great\, and he helped me gain the confidence to become a lead vocalist. ”\n\n \;\n\n“The name Mammoth is really special to me.” says Wol f. “Not only was it the name of Van Halen before it became Van Halen\, b ut my father was also the lead singer. Ever since my dad told me this\, I always thought that when I grew up\, I’d call my own band Mammoth\, beca use I loved the name so much. I’m so thankful that my father was able to listen to\, and enjoy the music I made. I’m really proud of the work I ’ve done and nothing made me happier than seeing how proud he was that I was continuing the family legacy.”\n\n \; ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.jointherevolution.net/wp-content/upl oads/2023/12/REV_Mammoth-4-x-6.jpg CATEGORIES:All Ages,Concerts LOCATION:Revolution Live\, 100 SW 3rd Ave.\, Fort Lauderdale\, FL\, 33312\, United States GEO:26.121358;-80.1461974 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=100 SW 3rd Ave.\, Fort Laud erdale\, FL\, 33312\, United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITLE=Revolution Live:geo:26.121358,-80.1461974 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VTIMEZONE TZID:America/New_York X-LIC-LOCATION:America/New_York BEGIN:DAYLIGHT DTSTART:20240310T030000 TZOFFSETFROM:-0500 TZOFFSETTO:-0400 TZNAME:EDT END:DAYLIGHT END:VTIMEZONE END:VCALENDAR
