The War and Treaty Booking Agency Profile
The musical collaboration between Trotter and Blount, who are from Albion, Michigan, started in 2014 and later changed their name to The War and Treaty in 2017 after a heated discussion about it. Tanya's remark, "this isn't war, Michael, so let's come to some sort of treaty here," during this conversation gave rise to their evocative name.
Under the moniker Trotter and Blount, the group released the duet album Love Affair in 2016. They simultaneously debuted as The War and Treaty with the song "Hi Ho," which Chris Estey of Paste called a "breakout soul hit."
The 2017 EP Down to the River, which was lauded for its fascinating fusion of "blues, gospel, soul, bluegrass, and country," continued the duo's development. Through choruses like "Hit Dawg Will Holla" and "Set My Soul On Fire," the EP expertly explored themes of existential dread and psychological agony. Estey characterized it as a "immediate classic about conflict and redemption."
Rolling Stone announced the band and set the release date for their debut album Healing Tide on August 10, 2018. The album is a cheerful and unrelenting collection that is evocative of vintage rock infused soul.
Hearts Town, their second studio album, was made available by Rounder Records in 2020. When they joined Dierks Bentley for a moving rendition of U2's "Pride (In the Name of Love)" at the 56th Academy of Country Music Awards in 2021, the duo's versatility was demonstrated..

Also, their speaking fee might be different than the fee shown for the cost to perform or to just appear. Popularity, career stage, along with current demand will cause fluctuations in their speaking price as well. The final booking price may be more than what is shown, but you should at least have a budget within that range for them to consider an appearance, performance or speaking engagement.
