The War And Treaty Earns Academy of Country Music Awards Nomination For ‘Duo of the Year’

Congratulations to The War And Treaty, who have earned a ‘Duo of the Year’ nomination at this year’s Academy of Country Music Awards. “Country Music’s Party of the Year'' will stream live exclusively on Prime Video on Thursday, May 16 at 8 p.m. EDT from Ford Center at The Star in Frisco, Texas.

This nomination comes on the heels of The War And Treaty performing "America The Beautiful" at WrestleMania’s 40th anniversary event this past Sunday in South Philadelphia at Lincoln Financial Field, performing to nearly 70,000 fans. 

The group also just released their first new single of 2024 “Stealing A Kiss” – a seductive envelope of country soul that they are becoming well known for. (Listen HERE)

About The War And Treaty: 

Founded in 2014 by the husband-and-wife duo Michael Trotter Jr. and Tanya Trotter, The War And Treaty has 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, The Tennessean notes, “they are unlike any other act in music.” The War And Treaty’s 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.” Drawing respect across the board, they have gone on to appear as top-flight collaborators including the latest “Hey Driver” with Zach Bryan.
