The Whiskey Treaty Roadshow is a collaborative project that brings together Massachusetts singer-songwriters in the vein of Americana, Rock and Roots-folk music to audiences throughout the Commonwealth and beyond, delivering tales and tunes of whiskey and brotherhood.

The Whiskey Treaty Roadshow features the five singer-songwriters hailing from Western Massachusetts and their four-day roadshow throughout the Commonwealth in a fun, lively and engaging way. Through the interviews, performances and experiences captured while on the road, the goal is to feature the musical talents birthing from Western Mass and ultimately reveal the true warmth and beauty of what the Treaty represents: the confluence of music and people and its powerful effect on our shared experiences. The Whiskey Treaty Roadshow is a showcase of the hidden talents of Western Massachusetts, music collaborations, friendship, and the love we show for our community. The movie is 100% original score.

Visually exploring the sites and sounds of historic and cherished Western Massachusetts landmarks, the artists and filmmakers captured both live and pseudo music-video performances on location at highlighted locales. Each member of the Roadshow selected a favorite original song from their discography to perform with the group of singer-songwriters in an intimate, acoustic, and unique fashion. The singer-songwriters and producers have created a visually and musically moving short documentary with a running time of 23-minutes for submission to film festivals. The film is available to stream online for free.
