Super 400 and Sean Matthew Whiteford to Perform “Led Zeppelin I” in Its Entirety, October 8th

COHOES – Presented by Guthrie/Bell Productions and Cohoes Music Hall, Super 400 and Sean Matthew Whiteford are set to perform Led Zeppelin’s classic first album in its entirety. A night filled with terrific music and artists, this event on Saturday, October 8th is sure to be one not to miss!

Troy’s fabled rock trio, Super 400, is known far and wide for telekinetic jams and big love. Active since the mid 1990s, the band has released four studio albums and one live set as of September 2009. The band was formed by longtime friends Kenny Hohman and Joe Daley, and played in various incarnations throughout New York City and Woodstock. Tours both in the US and abroad started a chain of bootleg recordings that have been traded and coveted around the world. Their international following sold out over 20 shows across Europe on their last tour. Back home, the mayor of Troy gave Super 400 their own official holiday, ‘Super 400 Day,’ to recognize the band’s musical achievements as well as the love and support the city has shown for them. Super 400 recorded their most recent full-length, Sweet Fist, at legendary Ardent Studios in Memphis, TN, and followed the release with their biggest US tour to date. They’ve appeared on national television in the US and abroad, written music for top-rated shows on American television, and continue to light stages with their love and intense passion for playing. The COVID pandemic prompted a fortification of the home studio, where the band has been writing, recording, mixing, making art, and launching these efforts to their online audience as well as planning full-length releases in 2022. Super 400 was recently inducted into The Capital Region Thomas Edison Music Hall of Fame.

Sean Matthew Whiteford has been a prominent performer, producer and vocal coach in the Hudson Valley for over 15 years. At 17 years old, he founded his rock and roll theatre company, Castaway Productions (est. 2005). Whiteford has been acknowledged as “a theatrical phenomenon” (Daily Freeman), and has displayed a “finely tuned eye and ear for classic rock ’n’ roll…with a creative gas-tank of pure high energy octane and manic abandon…with some kind of genius” (Poughkeepsie Journal). As a performer, Sean has played the role of the narrator, “Lonny,” in the musical, ROCK OF AGES on the Norwegian Breakaway, El Dorado Showroom in Reno, NV and in the regional debut in Rhinebeck, NY. Other  performances include the title roles in JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR and HEDWIG AND THE ANGRY INCH, as well as the 50th Anniversary Concert Production of HAIR, alongside Tony Award nominee Constantine Maroulis, Shira Elias of Turkuaz, and Alexis Michelle of RuPaul’s Drag Race. Whiteford is also known for his performances as Frank N Furter in various renditions of THE ROCKY HORROR SHOW. Sean is also the writer and creator of his own 1980s horror rock extravaganza, GIRLFRIEND FROM HELL: THE MUSICAL, which DC Metro Theatre Arts praised “has the makings of a rock-musical cult classic.” Whiteford & Callahan, his collaboration with musician Logan Callahan, has recorded and released 1 LP & 3 EPs over the pandemic. Sean has produced several tracks for various independent artists under his SMW Studios label, and plans to record a solo album in the near future.
