Three old friends from high school reconnected decades later when they were asked to play their class reunion—just for fun. That one night sparked something bigger. What started as a nostalgic jam turned into a full-fledged band with a mission: to bring life to the songs people love but aren’t tired of hearing.

After touring as Affordable Butter over the summer, Jeff and Nick crossed paths online through their shared love of Phish and all things improvisational. A few jam sessions later, Steve and Mark joined in, and the sound clicked.

Now, as The Hidden Trax, they dig into the deep cuts—music from great artists that doesn’t always make the greatest-hits list but still deserves to be played loud. These tunes are often covered by jam bands, and on any given night these songs can be taken out for some exploration.
