Ahead of their first-ever CMA Awards performance tonight (Nov. 9), husband-and-wife duo The War And Treaty have dropped their surprise EP, Blank Page.
“We could not be more excited to release this new body of work into the atmosphere and give fans a chance to experience the heart of our upcoming album,” The War And Treaty’s Michael Trotter Jr. explains. “The song ‘Blank Page’ came at a pivotal moment for Tanya and I because, much like everyone else trying to find their footing after the pandemic, we felt as if we were starting over and that can leave anyone feeling crippling or euphoric. It all depends on how you see it…and it just so happen that this time for us it’s euphoric.”
The four-song project, produced by Dave Cobb, is a preview of their forthcoming album on Mercury Nashville, and includes new tracks like the rootsy R&B title track; “Dumb Luck,” which offers a gospel grit; their new single “Lover’s Game;” and “That’s How Love Is Made.”
The Americana Music Association’s 2022 Duo/Group of the Year wraps their “Hearts On Fire Tour” this weekend, with stops in Cambridge, Massachusetts (Nov. 11) and Washington D.C. (Nov. 12).
