The War and Treaty will perform at Faulkner Performing Arts Center on Friday, Sept. 20, with doors opening at 7 p.m. and the concert from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m.

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. Recently earning their first ever Grammy nominations for Best New Artist and Best American Roots Song for "Blank Page," they also received this year their first ever Duo of the Year nomination from the Country Music Association, Vocal Duo nomination from the Academy of Country Music, plus recognition by the Country Music Hall of Fame, Grand Ole Opry and Americana Music Association, including earning AMA Duo/Group of the Year for the second straight year.

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.

The War and Treaty has also captivated audiences across the globe from North America to Europe, Australia and beyond, while headlining their own shows and opening for a diverse group of living legends: Al Green, Brandi Carlile, Chris Stapleton, Jason Isbell, John Legend, Lauren Daigle and Van Morrison among them, according to the The War and Treaty bio.
