In a Troy warehouse in 1996, three musicians plugged in and changed the weather of their small corner of New York.

Super 400 is the meeting of three distinct forces: Joe Daley on drums, Kenny Hohman on guitar and voice, and Lori Friday on electric bass and keyboards. 

Their name spread from room to room, tape to tape. Early tours across the U.S. and overseas sparked a trail of bootlegs, passed hand to hand until they circled the globe. By their first  European run, the myth had caught up with them: more than twenty shows sold out, strangers singing along as if they’d grown up with the band.

At home, Troy claimed them as its own. In 2006, Mayor Harry Tutunjian marked the bond in writing, declaring February 25 “Super 400 Day in Troy,” ten years after that first warehouse jam, and confirming what the city already felt—that this band was part of its story.

In 2022, the band was honored to be inducted into the Capital Region Eddies Music Hall of Fame, and honored as Pop/Rock Artist of the Year in 2022 and 2023, then Rock Artist of the Year in 2025.

Yet for Super 400, the true reward is simpler: three friends in a room, chasing a new song. Their mission to keep creating is renewed each time they plug in, driven by their love for one another and for the music that will come.

Now, as  2026 brings their newest studio album, Super 400 stands in a rare place: still together, still evolving, playing and writing at the height of their powers. Spirit in the Sound gathers three decades of shared experience into some of their strongest songs—arrangements that know exactly when to burn and when to breathe.
