Michigan faves Tanya Blount and Michael Trotter’s band, The War and Treaty released a stunning new album on Rounder Records this year, called Hearts Town. It’s a ravishing mix of musical styles, soul, R&B, along with some callbacks to the Great American Songbook.

The Trotters’ interpretive skills are in high gear, as they work with finesse and passion through songs reflecting time-tested love amid hardship. If you’re hunting for music that acknowledges the pain of 2020, but that also paves the way for healing, The War and Treaty’s got you covered. We spoke with them from their home in Nashville about making the album. 

You can find Hearts Townhere at The War and Treaty website. 

Guests:

Michael Trotter and Tanya Blount Trotter
