Whiskey Treaty Roadshow ft. Jackson Whalan w/ Starbody at The Iron Horse on Thursday, December 31 2026

The Whiskey Treaty Roadshow is a much-beloved Massachusetts singer-songwriter collaborative band made up of Tory Hanna, Chris Merenda, Greg Daniel Smith, and David Tanklefsky. For more than a decade, the band has thrilled regional and national audiences with its electric, dynamic and high energy live shows, earning them slots at acclaimed festivals including Green River Festival, Fresh Grass, The Kate Wolf Memorial Music Festival, The Rock Boat, Strange Creek, Back Porch Festival and more. The band's studio album "Band Together" features Steve Gorman (The Black Crowes) on drums and Pat Sansone (Wilco) on bass. The band has been nominated for two New England Music Awards, winning the 2022 NEMA for Best Americana Act of the Year.

Jackson Whalan is known for his fierce flow, his uplifting and genre-bursting hip-hop, his versatile beat-making skills and production, and his dazzling freestyle rap chops. His 100-plus song catalog bursts through perceived confines of hip-hop, veering into pop and electronic territory. Whalan’s oeuvre includes LPs, EPs, singles, and features. Recent career highlights include his latest album Vocal Points, collaboration and production credits with KRS-One, live shows throughout the U.S., guest appearances at Producer Mondays in New York City, and sync placements with the NFL, Xfinity, Netflix, BET, Vice, and more.

Starbody was born approximately two light-years ago out of an obscure hemlock glen in the hilltowns of Western Mass. Five friends gathered to learn and perform their favorite bangers, from contemporary indie-folk gems to classic 60s-era Lauren Canyon staples.With multiple band members now contributing original songs and ditties, and a shared love of rich four-part harmonies, Starbody is steadily discovering themselves, their sound, and their scene.Their debut collection is slated for release in 2026, but you can hear the seeds of what’s to come on their Equinox Demos, recently released on streaming platforms. Outside of Starbody, band member Eric Giordano recently released his second solo EP, The Path to Where You Are.Starbody is Eric Giordano, Zane Provost, Teddy Lee Wilder, Madison Healey, and Tyler Brick.
