Band as One Nashville

ABOUT THE SHOW Band As One Nashville with The War And Treaty & Friends brings an unforgettable evening of music, collaboration and community to Ryman Auditorium on Wednesday, March 17th. Featuring powerful performances and special guest appearances, this unique event celebrates the spirit of Nashville's music community while showcasing a blend of soul, country, Americana and rock. Genre: Americana • Country Soul • Folk Rock • Roots Music For Fans Of: The War And Treaty • Brothers Osborne • Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats • Margo Price • Jason Isbell • The Wood Brothers As The War And Treaty, Michael and Tanya Trotter serve up healing and pain robbing with freewheeling joy on their new full-length album, Healing Tide . Funky bass lines, keys, lap steel, acoustic strings, and stripped-down percussion create a swampy Southern soul bed for the couple’s transcendent vocals. A tour-de-force produced by Buddy Miller, the collection swaggers with confidence only gained by artists who are wholly, proudly, themselves. Michael is a wounded warrior who found his voice while serving in Iraq, when he was pulled from the frontlines to write songs for the fallen. Tanya is a lifelong artist, drawn to singing’s power to take another’s pain away. “You have to have a deep place of love within yourself to be vulnerable,” Tanya says. “With The War And Treaty, we allow people to see two people that are not perfect. We get on stage. We sweat. We’re overweight. We yell. We get ugly, we scream! My hair comes loose. We’re vulnerable––naked––in front of people, and it’s a chain reaction. It allows them to be vulnerable, too.” The War And Treaty’s music and stories bring tears and goosebumps, but ultimately, more is at work. “I want people to feel like we care,” Michael says. “When you think about artists, you don’t think about that.” He pauses and grins broadly. “But that’s the way I want the world to feel about The War And Treaty.”
