Born and raised in New Orleans (and living there still, when he’s not on the road), Stanton Moore is very much a product of geography, culture and creative networking. He grew up in the thriving music scene of his hometown that included Professor Longhair, Doctor John, the Meters and countless other Big Easy mainstays.

In the early ‘90s, Moore hooked up with guitarist Jeff Raines, bassist Robert Mercurio and keyboardist Rich Vogel and saxophonist Ben Ellman to form the New Orleans-based “steam-roller” funk band known as Galactic. After receiving his bachelor’s degree in music and business from Loyola University, Moore and the band made their first record (the widely acclaimed Coolin’ Off) and hit the road to do nearly 200 gigs a year for the first ten years of Galactic’s existence. The band has since released five more albums since Coolin’ Off, and continues to amass a worldwide audience via recording and touring globally.

Image Aided by eight-string guitar virtuoso Charlie Hunter and saxophonist Skerik (Les Claypool, John Scofield, Roger Waters), Moore launched his solo career in the late ‘90s with the All Kooked Out!, an album recorded in New Orleans just after Mardi Gras in 1998 and released later that year. In addition to the Moore-Hunter-Skerik core, All Kooked Out! also featured a handful of New Orleans horn players, including Brent Rose, Brian Seeger, Matt Perrine, Ben Ellman, and former Sun Ra trumpeter Michael Ray. Moore extended the solo discography with the 2001 release of Flyin’ the Koop (Verve/Blue Thumb).

Image With various styles of music making a come back in the new millennium, good old-fashioned Rock & Roll is enjoying a prominent resurgence. Spearheading the charge is the Troy, NY power trio Super 400, the musical lovechild of 60s and 70s classic rock and soul. With a presence as enormous as the history of the genre, Kenny Hohman (guitar/vocals), Lori Friday (bass), and Joe Daley (drums) forge on in the spirit of our rocking forefathers.

The self-proclaimed power trio of the new millennium draws its technique from the likes of old school classic rockers. From Led Zeppelin to Traffic to Humble Pie, the influences are diverse and plentiful, leaving no stone unturned. Searing guitar leads, rumbling low end, and pummeling percussion is the modus operandi for Super 400. Crafting timeless classic rock gems tinged with drops of 50's and 60's blues & funk, the band has found its place in the rock & roll world.

On the band's latest release, 3 and the Beast, Super 400 set out to unleash their tonal assault on the world. Garnering widespread praise from various publications, from Guitar World to Mojo Magazine, the trio has developed a core of rabid followers hungry for a taste of American Rock & Roll. Their ability to raise the bar night in and night out attracts fans from across the rock spectrum, from 60's blues buffs to 80's arena rockers.

Following a rigorous touring schedule, Super 400 continues to pack clubs throughout the country. Catch their cosmic rock & roll experience at a club near you. Just remember to bring your cigarette lighter.
