Scott Bernstein cofounded a Web site about live music, called Hidden Track (hiddentrackblog.com). He writes six weekly columns, reviews concerts, and offers his take on the news of the day.

Adam Kaufman ’99 often contributes photos to the site. It also features the Ryan Montbleau Band, which includes Larry Scudder ’99. Chris Constantian, Zach Read ’00, Gus Scott ’00, and Chris Harris have all been extremely helpful as Scott launched his new writing career.
