Michael Trotter, Jr., one half of the duo The War and Treaty, taught himself how to play the keys on the ebony and ivory of an old piano he found in a corner of one of Saddam Hussein’s abandoned palaces while serving in Iraq in 2004. Upon his return, Trotter met Tanya Blount — also blessed with a larger than life singing voice — and the pair married and started making music. From the pair’s beautiful singing to the mix of instruments and old-fashioned boot stomping, War and Treaty shows are a tent revival for the soul.
