The War and Treaty is a powerhouse husband-and-wife duo — Michael Trotter Jr. and Tanya Trotter — whose music blends soul, gospel, blues, and Americana into something raw, joyful, and deeply moving. Their voices together are a force of nature, earning them widespread acclaim and a devoted following across the roots music world, with acclaimed albums including Hearts Town, Lover's Game, and the Grammy-recognized Plus One. Their 2026 album The Story of Michael and Tanya — featuring Whoopi Goldberg, Valerie June, and Wynonna Judd — marks their most personal record yet.
