The War And Treaty

Since first lighting up the world with their glorious fusion of country and soul, The War And Treaty has steadily built a legacy as one of the most iconic husband-and-wife duos in music history. In the last few years alone, Michael Trotter Jr. and Tanya Trotter’s phenomenal talent and daring originality have led to major milestones, like earning two Grammy® nominations, taking home the Duo/Group of the Year prize at the Americana Music Honors & Awards two years in a row, and performing at stadiums as support for superstars like The Rolling Stones and Zach Bryan—a triumph that’s won them a whole new legion of fans, thanks to the electrifying impact of their revelatory live show. On their new album, Plus One, The War And Treaty doubles down on the powerful sense of togetherness that’s always fueled their music, offering up eighteen life-affirming songs to provide a shared experience of hope, healing, and much-needed joy. 

“We see this record as an open invitation to be a part of what we’re doing—it came from wanting to be the hope we believe people need right now, as well as the hope that we need for ourselves,” Tanya says. 

Mainly produced by Michael and recorded at the legendary FAME Studios in Muscle Shoals, Plus One marks their fourth full-length and follow-up to Lover’s Game—a 2023 LP whose standout track “Blank Page” nabbed a Grammy nomination for Best American Roots Song, with The War And Treaty nominated for Best New Artist. To create their most extravagant body of work to date, the duo enlisted their longtime live band and dreamed up a singular sound touched with elements of gospel, bluegrass, contemporary country, classic soul, symphonic pop, folk-rock, and more—creating a transcendent double album firmly rooted in their timeless musicality and forward-thinking vision.
