The War And Treaty’s music video for the “vital and fiery” (HITS Magazine) song, “Dumb Luck,” is available now.  The music video puts the spotlight directly on the chill inducing vocals of Michael Trotter Jr. and Tanya Trotter, as they sing a pleading prayer for humility with spirit-swelling Gospel grit.

The duo shared the story behind the song, explaining, “This is a moment where we can’t afford to take anything for granted. How we’re making it, how we’re thriving and surviving, how we stay motivated is all based on realizing three things. 1. It’s all God. 2. To whom much is given much is required. 3. It could be anyone, but it’s you so use your time wisely.”

Tonight, The War And Treaty begin their stretch of opening dates for Chris Stapleton’s All-American Road Show Tour.  For a full list of tour dates, click HERE.

Additionally, the husband-and-wife duo marked Memorial Day weekend with emotionally charged performance tributes. Michael Trotter Jr, a war veteran himself, and Tanya Trotter started the weekend performing as part of “Opry Salutes The Troops” which aired on Circle Network (available HERE), and then traveled to Washington, D.C. for the PBS Memorial Day Concert (watch HERE).

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 unlike any other act in music.” – The Tennessean. Their major label debut album LOVER’S GAME (Mercury Nashville), was met with critical praise with Associated Press claiming, “The colossally talented pair continue their commando, no-limits journey to the top of the music world.” Earning respect, they’ve gone on to appear as top-flight collaborators, and have been recognized by the Academy of Country Music, Country Music Hall of Fame, the Grand Ole Opry and the Americana Music Association as “2022 Duo/Group of the Year.” The duo has 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. For more information visit www.thewarandtreaty.com.

The War And Treaty will perform during the National Memorial Day Concert on PBS this Sunday (May 28th). The concert, which will be broadcast on PBS as well as the American Forces Network, will also feature performances by Trace Adkins, Jo Dee Messina, Yolanda Adams, Phillip Phillips, Broadway actress Megan Hilty, Actor-singer Chosen Jacobs and the National Symphony Orchestra, among others. Also appearing are actors Gary Sinise, Joe Mantegna, Mary McCormack, Dulé Hill, S. Epatha Merkerson and John Slattery.

The National Memorial Day Concert honors our country’s veterans and servicemen and women, and for more than 30 years, this TV special has featured musical performances, documentary footage and more inspirational moments.

The PBS special premieres Sunday (May 28th) beginning at 8pm ET/7pm CT and will repeat at 9:30pm ET. The concert can also be streamed live on PBS.org, on YouTube and the PBS app.
