His style is a hybrid of influences involving bluegrass, blues, and folk. His songs tell the story of growing up in rural America. Coal mining, iron milling, lumbering, religion, and farming all work their way into Wagner's songs. His hometown of Danville Pennsylvania is often the focus of his songs. Danville’s people, places, 
and rich history continue to inspire Wagner to write about small town life. 

Van is currently touring with the release of his newest album “Going Back To Bald Top.” The 16 song CD features pieces that Wagner has written about the Susquehanna River, Pennsylvania iron miners, and several songs inspired by his hometown of Danville. The album also contains Wagner’s song “God and Woody Guthrie”, a tune inspired by Wagner’s deep roots in the music of American folk 
legend Woody Guthrie. 

“The lyrics of these songs paint a picture of rural America’s past and present in a way that every listener can relate to,” Wagner said.
