Michael and Tanya from The War and Treaty answer 7 Questions with Emmy

Every week I’m interviewing exciting people from Idaho and around the world!

The War and Treaty is a popular husband-and-wife musical duo known for their high-energy fusion of country, soul, blues, bluegrass, and gospel music.

Michael Trotter Jr. and Tanya Blount-Trotter started their group in 2014 and have been nominated for Grammy, CMA and other awards.

The War and Treaty was in Idaho Falls this week. I had a chance to sit down with Michael and Tanya. Here’s what I asked them:

• Tanya, you’ve been doing music for a long time. Can you tell me what it was like to be in “Sister Act 2”?
• Michael, I read a story that said you got your start in music while in the Army serving in the Iraq war. Can you share a bit of that experience?
• What made you both want to start making music together as a couple?
• What’s your favorite song you’ve made together and why?
• What’s your favorite place you’ve ever performed?
• Do you ever disagree on what to do in a song, and how do you work it out?
• What advice could you share with our viewers about life, or about having a career in music?
