Wolfgang was previously the bassist for a band called Tremonti. Valerie talked about this time and how she still didn’t worry about her son as he toured with a rock band. She said, “The guys who he was working with were so cool, so laid back. I didn’t see any drugs or alcohol. They all went to get smoothies. Of course, ’cause maybe I was there, but I know he’s made good choices.”
