Founded in 2014 by the husband-and-wife duo Michael Trotter Jr. and Tanya Trotter, The War And Treaty have emerged as one of the most electrifying new acts in American music. With a lionhearted sonic blend – both roaring with passion and tender to the touch, they "are making soul moves that are captivating everyone who sees them," (Hits Magazine). Covering a diverse range of music pallets with their "jaw-dropping harmonies" (American Songwriter), trailblazing husband-and-wife duo The War And Treaty expand on their sound that cuts through the whole of Southern music tradition with the release of their milestone album, LOVER’S GAME (Mercury Nashville). The 10-song collection produced by Dave Cobb proves why the "Nashville couple is as good as it gets” (Music Row) as they offer "stunning vocals and thought-provoking lyrics” (Nashville Lifestyles) that share a unique perspective on shifting cultural and musical tides while pulling back the layers of a maturing relationship. Earning respect, they’ve gone on to appear as top-flight collaborators, and have been recognized by the Country Music Hall of Fame, the Grand Ole Opry and the Americana Music Association as "2022 Duo/Group of the Year.” With more than 100 shows last year, the duo have dominated stages across the globe including North America, Europe, Italy, Australia, and Ireland, while headlining their own shows and opening for a diverse group of living legends; Al Green, Brandi Carlile, Jason Isbell, John Legend, Lauren Daigle and Van Morrison among them. As they have created vastly diverse tour opportunities across multiple genres, The War And Treaty will join Chris Stapleton on the All American Road Show Tour this summer.
Absolutely brilliant atmosphere and performance by the singers and the band were authentic and fantastic. Hope they come back soon.
The duo have the most incredible voices and are supported by fantastic musicians. They all put on an amazing show and interact well with the audience.
The venue was small and intimate, but very hot! The show was incredible. They both sang amazingly and the band were great! I'd recommend anyone to see them live, just amazing. Their rendition of I will always love you brought me to tears!
A class act let down by the quality of sound at the venue
We had been notified by Ticketmaster that the upstairs unreserved seating area would not be open so we contacted box office at Islington Assembly Halls and were told there would be seating on the floor next to standing area. We were put on a seating access list and on arrival we gave our name to box office and we were given wrist bands and shown to seating area. ALL of the staff including security were so helpful and friendly. As for the gig "the war and treaty" they were amazing and got a great reaction from the crowd. I had seen them before at the Royal Albert Hall but this was a much more intimate vibe. The support were very good too.
If you are lucky enough to get tickets to go and see the War and Treaty, you're in for a wowzer of a night! One of the best concerts we've ever been to, thoroughly enjoyed. Just disappointed we can't go again
Went to see the American band The War and Treaty at the Manchester Academy. They brought the full band over, including the horn section, which was a little too full on for the smallest academy but the voices and playing were phenomenal. The songwriting and singing of Michael and Tanya Trotter raised the roof, with the audience all joining in and loving their blues/gospel/country mix of music. The energy of the performance along with the friendly personas made for a great evening and we will definitely be going again.
