History
The name Wolfgang's Vault is inspired by Wolodia "Wolfgang" Grajonca, known widely as Bill Graham. Born Wolodia Grajonca in Berlin in 1931, he escaped Nazi Germany to grow up in a foster home in the Bronx and anglicized his name at the age of 18. His later work as a music promoter is what inspired Wolfgang's Vault.
