The War and Treaty’s Michael and Tanya Trotter grew up in Cleveland, Ohio, and Washington, DC, respectively, but both have family roots in the South. They also grew up in the musical traditions of their churches – Tanya in the Black Baptist Church and Michael in the Seventh Day Adventist Church – where they learned the power of song to move people. After becoming a father at a very young age, Michael eventually joined the armed forces and served in Iraq and Germany, where he took up songwriting as a way of dealing with his experiences there. Meanwhile Tanya embarked on a singing and acting career after a breakthrough appearance in Sister Act 2 alongside Whoopi Goldberg and Lauryn Hill. Now, after a long and sometimes traumatic journey, Michael and Tanya are married, touring, winning all sorts of awards, and set to release their fifth album together, and their fourth as The War and Treaty. Sid talks to Michael and Tanya about the new record, Plus One , as well as their collaboration with Miranda Lambert, what it was like to record at FAME studios in Muscle Shoals, and how they’re blending country, soul, gospel, and R&B.

If everything in life was a game, breaking the speed limit would be one of the most frequently broken rules. Yet, we don’t always accept the consequences.
We can actually avoid making another person’s mistakes. Reading and watching the response of another person could help steer us into the right direction.
There are obvious mistakes that we make that we actually do learn from... but what about the more subtle events that cause us stress us on a weekly and even daily basis?
This one is huge. Today’s society is based on grabbing your attention. Some of us have become a mess because of it.
