This is a free preview of a paid episode.

As the star of Stranger Things and the new Ghostbusters reboot, it feels like a dream that’s becoming more and more unlikely, but Wolfhard began playing and writing music long before he started acting, learning bass at the age of 7 to emulate his hero Paul McCartney.Having already released records with his bands Culpurnia and The Aubreys, Wolfhard’s debut solo album, Happy Birthday, will be out in a couple of weeks, which gave me the perfect excuse to speak with him about the music he grew up on, his love of skateboarding, and what happens if his music career takes off.Sign up at loudandquiet.substack.com to hear the full episode.
