Pre-order The Story of Michael and Tanya:
For the past decade, The War And Treaty have created an ongoing body of work that has earned them over 100M worldwide streams along with widespread critical acclaim, standing ovations from sold-out audiences around the world, and a growing list of accolades including Americana Music Honors & Awards as “Duo/Group of the Year” and “Emerging Artist of the Year,” as well as multiple nominations for GRAMMY® Awards (including a prestigious “Best New Artist” nod), Country Music Association Awards, CMT Music Awards, Academy of Country Music Awards, and more. Michael and Tanya Trotter now take a bold step into a new chapter with their Atlantic Outpost debut album, The Story of Michael and Tanya. The characteristically eclectic project exemplifies the duo’s ever-evolving creative growth with stunning collaborations alongside some of their closest friends, mentors, and trusted confidants including such award-winning titans as Kenneth “Babyface” Edmonds, Whoopi Goldberg, Valerie June and Wynonna. Songs like “Reclaim All Of Your Time (feat. Miss Valerie June and Wynonna Judd)” make it abundantly clear that a vibrant new energy now guides The War And Treaty, driven by honest and unique conversational perspectives. Beyond its remarkable collaborations, The Story of Michael and Tanya also thoughtfully seeks to expand Ray Charles’ idea that the best music exists in the tension between sacred sounds and secular desires. Given that Michael and Tanya Trotter are a married couple, their ability to explore that space is obvious. From the honky-tonk-meets-juke-joint storytelling of “Darlene & Gene” to the five-alarm love and heartbreak anthem, “Holy Ghost Fire,” The Story of Michael and Tanya sees The War And Treaty wholly confronting their core truths while ascending to new heights of transcendent artistic power.
“For The War And Treaty, feeling every aspect of what we’re writing and singing has grown from representing routine emotions to now demanding that people connect with our spirit,” says Michael Trotter.
“Evoking hard, honest emotions first required me to find those parts in myself,” Tanya Trotter adds. “Once you find them, there’s a strength to the urgency that feels like you’ll be at your wits’ end if you don’t express that emotion.”
