The Friendship Band Friendsgiving Fundraiser w/ Mind Left Body at The Iron Horse on Tuesday, November 3 2026

THE FRIENDSHIP BAND

A twelve-member rock and funk juggernaut based out of Western MA, The Friendship Band began as a class offering of Whole Children (www.wholechildren.org), and has expanded into a premiere live local act, rocking stages such as Flywheel, Northampton Center for The Arts, UMASS Ballroom, The Pines Theater, The Forbes Library, and The Iron Horse. The Friendship Band has shared the bill with many wonderful groups including Eavesdrop, Soul Magnets, The Expandable Brass Band, and Yo La Tengo. We believe in the power of music to heal, and communicate, and to express our true selves.
