Despite humble beginnings, The War and Treaty’s talent and chemistry propelled them forward. They toured tirelessly, winning over audiences with their raw talent and heartfelt performances.

Their efforts paid off in 2018 with the release of their acclaimed debut album, “Healing Tide.”

The duo’s music delves into themes of love, resilience, and social justice, resonating with fans around the world.

Their authenticity extends beyond the stage, as they openly share their journey as a couple, inspiring others with their unwavering support for each other.

Now signed with UMG Nashville, The War and Treaty continue to captivate audiences with their latest album, “Lover’s Game.” Their Grammy-nominated artistry and international tours cement their status as one of music’s most compelling duos.

Their story is one of love, music, and perseverance—a testament to the transformative power of both art and partnership.
