On this edition of The Pinfield Sessions, Matt Pinfield sits down with legendary drummer Matt Sorum (Guns N’ Roses, Velvet Revolver, The Cult) for a conversation that seamlessly blend rock history, studio stories, and a powerful commitment to music education.
Sorum joins Pinfield to discuss the upcoming Adopt The Arts Foundation benefit concert honoring Geezer Butler of Black Sabbath and Paul Rodgers of Bad Company and Free — two artists whose influence helped define modern rock. The all-star charity event celebrates their legacy while raising critical funds to support arts programs in public schools, happening March 2 at the Plaza Theatre in Palm Springs, CA.
What began as Sorum stepping in to help a single school without a music program has grown into a foundation serving thousands of students. Adopt The Arts continues to provide instruments, funding, and access to creative education for young people who might otherwise go without.
Beyond the benefit, the conversation moves through unforgettable rock moments — from how they landed on the band name Velvet Revolver, to discovering Tori Amos, to the the abnormal use of a turkey in an unexpected environment... its a rock star discussion that only Matt Pinfield could host!
At its core, this episode of The Pinfield Sessions is about legacy — honoring the pioneers of rock while ensuring the next generation has the opportunity to discover what music can mean in their own lives.
