Listen to The War And Treaty

Since their start in 2014, The War And Treaty have amassed a following as eclectic as their sound—a bluesy but joyful fusion of Southern soul, gospel, country, and rock-and-roll. The husband-and-wife team of Michael Trotter Jr. and Tanya Trotter continue their journey to the top of the music scene following their latest widely acclaimed release, Hearts Town.

Known for their live shows, nearly revival-like in their intensity, The War And Treaty “build up waves of emotion that crash into a cathartic release of a tour-de-force performance” (Austin-American Statesman). Over the past eight years, the versatile duo has opened for artists such as Al Green, Brandi Carlile, Jason Isbell, John Legend, and Lauren Daigle while their multifaceted collaborative efforts include Dierks Bentley, Elvis Costello, Emmylou Harris, Leslie Jordan, Mumford & Sons, Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, and Sturgill Simpson. In 2019, The War And Treaty won “Emerging Artist of the Year” at the Americana Music Honors & Award and in 2020 won “Artist of the Year” at Folk Alliance International.
