Mark your calendars! The War and Treaty are headed to Grimey’s to celebrate the release of their new album, Plus One, with a special instore performance and album signing.

Wristbands are required to participate in the band’s signing and guarantee entrance to our event. Like space in the record store, wristbands are limited. You can read more about our Plus One preorder on our site here.
Since first lighting up the world with their glorious fusion of country and soul, The War And Treaty have steadily built a legacy as one of the most iconic husband-and-wife duos in music history. In the last few years alone, Michael Trotter Jr. and Tanya Trotter’s phenomenal talent and daring originality have led to major milestones like earning two Grammy nominations, taking home the Duo/Group of the Year prize at the Americana Music Honors & Awards two years in a row, and performing at stadiums as support for superstars like the Rolling Stones and Zach Bryan—a triumph that’s won them a whole new legion of fans thanks to the electrifying impact of their revelatory live show. On their new album Plus One, The War And Treaty double down on the powerful sense of togetherness that’s always fueled their music, offering up 18 life-affirming songs aimed at providing a shared experience of hope and healing and much-needed joy.
“We see this record as an open invitation to be a part of what we’re doing—it came from wanting to be the hope we believe people need right now, as well as the hope that we need for ourselves,” says Tanya. “Too often we feel all alone in this world, and when we feel alone it can be easy to succumb to despair,” Michael adds. “One of our main intentions with this album is to inspire people to share themselves with others, and open themselves up to the possibility of being loved.”
We love The War & Treaty and look forward to hosting them at Grimey’s again. Please join us in the shop for this special event with the band. We’ll have copies of Plus One available in the shop for the event, but you can go ahead and preorder your copy in the record store or on our site here to score a wristband for the band’s signing guarantees there is a spot in the room for you at our event! See you soon, friends! (And in case you did miss it at the time, you can still watch their 2020 live-streamed instore on Youtube here.)
