Greta Van Fleet drummer Danny Wagner has been photographed playing guitar in recent photos, hinting at Wagner possibly writing and playing a little guitar on the band’s next album.
Wagner also recently uploaded a guitar jam video, “I miss touring/jamming with these rascals @goodbyejune.”
Wagner and Sam Kiszka were recently interviewed by Bullet Music.
Have you found that being from Michigan has influenced your music in any way? Like the environment.
Danny: Yep.
Sam: Absolutely.
Danny: A lot of people when they think of Michigan they think of like Detroit, Flint, but we come from an area that doesn’t really fit in with a lot of the rest of the cities in Michigan, which kinda helps with the sound. We grew up in a very rural, countryside sort of small town. A lot of woods, a lot of grains, a lot of farm fields, a lot of rivers and streams.
Sam: A lot of great places for kids.
Danny: Yeah.
Sam: Great place to grow up. We would run all around and just explore.
So you incorporate nature into your music because I’ve heard some of that a little bit, kind of pastoral?
Danny: Yeah, absolutely.
Sam: Totally, that’s the perfect word for it. Because that’s exactly what it would look like. There’s this little town, Frankenmuth, and you go like two or three miles outside of it which are where we both live, and it’s very farm. Farm animals, barns.
Danny: Pastoral.
Sam: Pastoral! It’s beautiful, you’re a poet!
