Since he was a child, Van Wagner has been singing, strumming, rambling, and picking his way through the hills of Pennsylvania.  Now 22 years old with over one hundred original songs under his belt, and co-production of seven albums, Van has developed a unique style of musical expression.  He has performed several  times in Europe as well as all over  the United States.
      His style is a hybrid of influences from bluegrass to blues. His songs tell the story of growing up in rural America.  Coal mining, iron milling, lumbering, religion, and farming all work the way into Wagner's songs.  He sings of his Welsh and Scottish heritage and brings the past to life.
