The War and Treaty with special guest Madeline Edwards

The War And Treaty 

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. They were nominated for the Best New Artist and Best American Roots Song at the 2024 GRAMMY Awards, and have also been nominated for Duo of the Year at the CMA Awards two years in a row and for Vocal Duo of the Year at the ACM Awards. They have won two Americana Music Awards (both for Duo/Group of the Year) and have received additional nominations and recognition from CMT Music Awards, Folk Alliance International, People’s Choice Country Awards, as well as from the Country Music Hall of Fame, the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, and the Grand Ole Opry.
 

Madeline Edwards

Madeline Edwards is a genre-defying singer-songwriter whose music seamlessly blends country,
jazz, soul, and rock influences into a sound that is uniquely her own. With a voice that carries
both power and vulnerability, she has captivated audiences with her authenticity, storytelling,
and rich, emotive delivery.

Born in California and raised in Houston, Texas, Edwards first gained widespread recognition
with her breakout performances in 2021, leading to national television appearances, a debut
album (Crashlanded), and critical acclaim for her ability to push genre boundaries while staying
rooted in heartfelt, deeply personal songwriting. She has since shared the stage with some of
music’s most iconic artists, performing alongside Alanis Morissette and joining Chris Stapleton
on his All-American Road Show tour, further cementing her reputation as one of the most
compelling new voices in modern music.

Now, after a two-and-a-half-year hiatus from releasing music, Edwards returns with her much-
anticipated sophomore album—a record that comes from the depths of loss, resilience, and
rediscovery. In that time, she endured the heartbreaking loss of her beloved brother, being
dropped from a major label, and the long, arduous fight to reclaim her voice and artistry.
Through it all, she emerged stronger, crafting a body of work that reflects not just her pain, but
her triumph.

With a renewed spirit and an undeniable presence, Edwards is ready to step back into the
spotlight—not just as an artist, but as a survivor, a storyteller, and a force to be reckoned with
in modern music
