Grammy Award Nomination, 2024 – Best New Artist Grammy Award Nomination, 2024 – Best American Roots Song Blank Page Michael Trotter Jr. & Tanya Trotter, songwriters (The War And Treaty) The War and Treaty continue on their upward trajectory with the 4-track EP Blank Page. Again produced by Dave Cobb, the four songs further showcase Michael Trotter Jr. and Tanya Trotter’s bespoke blend of Southern music ingredients. The EP includes “That’s How Love Is Made,” recently released in its own right and described as “the sound of pure love that shatters and defies every musical category” by MusicRow, while Billboard said it “makes for necessary listening.” Next is the current, high-octane, rocking single “Lover’s Game,” which evokes the spirit of the Rolling Stones, appropriately as the duo also feature with Brothers Osborne elsewhere on a new version of “It’s Only Rock ’n’ Roll” – the very track the two acts will perform together at the CMAs. NPR said of “Lover’s Game” that it “showcases their genre-crossing essence.” The title song of the EP is a striking and soulful piano ballad and the closing “Dumb Luck” also spotlights the War and Treaty’s old-school soul instincts.
