Fools (Nicholas Thomas-Low Remix)

The Whiskey Treaty Roadshow is a collaborative band that brings together five Massachusetts singer-songwriters in the vein of Americana, rock and folk music. 

The collective is made up of songwriters Tory Hanna, Billy Keane, Chris Merenda, Greg Daniel Smith and David Tanklefsky. For almost 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 and more. 

The Whiskey Treaty Roadshow puts on a performance that can’t be recreated anywhere else, with five singer/songwriters all trading off on lead vocals, an eclectic array of instruments from strings to horns to keys; consider the band a one-act music festival - replete with boot stomping jams, sing-along anthems and a completely larger than life command of the stage.  

The band has built a cult following across the northeast, releasing their debut studio album, “Band Together” in 2020, which featured Steve Gorman (The Black Crowes) on drums and Pat Sansone (Wilco) on bass. The album received acclaim in Rolling Stone, No Depression, and American Songwriter. 

2023 marks a huge year for the Whiskey Treaty Roadshow as they are set to release their much anticipated live record, Late Night, Laid Back and Live which consists of all new music from the band arranged over the course of one inspired week of writing, arranging and performing in the band’s geographic home in the Berkshires at the legendary live music venue The Egremont Barn. The album accompanies a documentary that explores the creative process of the five singer songwriters as they wrote and performed the record. The band will be supporting the live record with a tour throughout summer/fall 2023 along the east coast.

DAVID TANKLEFSKY is a songwriter, guitarist, minor league baseball broadcaster, journalist, filmmaker and radio broadcaster from Boston, Massachusetts.

Tanklefsky has been writing songs, recording and touring for the past ten years. His early musical years were spent in Grimis, the band he and his friends formed in high school that gained substantial recognition throughout the northeast, playing at Boston landmarks like the Paradise Rock Club and the Middle East. Grimis toured nationally and still plays a handful of concerts each year. In the fall of 2010, Tanklefsky and Grimis traveled to the village of Kisii, Kenya to record the students at the Margaret Okari School. They produced a two-disc record: “Grimis Presents: I Am the One". They toured the northeast in the spring and fall of 2011, selling the record and screening his documentary about the project. So far, the album has raised more than $10,000 for the Margaret Okari Children's Foundation.

In 2011, Tanklefsky released his first solo EP, The Sun and the Shadows, on New Wheel Records. In April 2014, his first full-length solo album, Be Brave, was released and followed by a U.S. tour.

Tanklefsky has been a featured songwriter at Club Passim’s Campfire Music Festival as well as at Boston’s Museum of Fine Arts. He has performed with musicians and bands including Zammuto, Thao With the Get Down Stay Down, Apollo Sunshine, State Radio, Savoir Adore, Emil & Friends, The Slip and Piebald.
