On this week’s episode of Outside the Box, Janeane sits down with GRAMMY award-winning musician and Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee, Matt Sorum. Sorum discovered the power of music at an early age after seeing The Beatles on the Ed Sullivan Show and being captivated by Ringo Starr on the drums.

Sorum’s professional music career spans decades with world-renowned bands including The Cult, Guns N’ Roses and Velvet Revolver, as well as solo albums and collaborations with artists from every genre of music.

Sorum opens up about his family of music makers who shared their love of music with him early in life from his grandfather who was a professor of music at Long Beach State University to his mother who was a music instructor and Superintendent of Music at twenty-six schools in Orange County, California. Matt’s brothers were also musicians, as well.

Matt also talks about his impactful Adopt the Arts Foundation he started in 2012 alongside Golden Globe award and Emmy award-winning Actor Jane Lynch to provide underserved elementary schools with high-quality music education curriculum and resources.
