The War And Treaty

As the War and Treaty, spouses Michael Trotter, Jr. and Tanya Blount make impassioned soul music that draws on country, R&B, traditional folk, and spirituals, often combining them all. After winning fans with their dynamic live shows, the duo's 2018 debut album, Healing Tide, made a strong run on several Billboard charts and earned acclaim throughout the roots music community. They delivered a follow-up album, Hearts Town, in 2020, and made their UMG Nashville debut with Lover's Game in 2023, the latter of which earned them two Grammy nominations. Building on that album's success, the pair showcased their stylistic diversity on the ambitious, 18-song Plus One in 2025. They returned with the confessional concept offering The Story of Michael and Tanya in June 2026.
