THE WAR AND TREATY PREMIERE TAKE ME IN VIA GARDEN & GUN
NEW ALBUM HEARTS TOWN SET FOR SEPTEMBER 25 RELEASE
TOUR DATES WITH JOHN LEGEND CONFIRMED FOR 2021 WITH CANADIAN SHOWS IN TORONTO AND VANCOUVER
Toronto, ON – August 14, 2020 – Today, Tanya Blount-Trotter and Michael Trotter Jr. – the musical duo known as The War And Treaty – have released Take Me In, from their eagerly-anticipated new album, Hearts Town, out September 25. Take Me In, the track which closes Hearts Town – is a rousing, gospel-tinged, piano-fueled epic that calls for unity amidst times of deep division. Listen to it here.
Michael Trotter reflects, “We were seeing so much anger in the world as we were making this album, so we wanted to give people something that told them, Stop looking for the next Dr. King or Malcolm or Mother Teresa and start looking for the first you.”
“Right now, a lot of people are feeling so deeply engulfed in pain and surrounded by negativity, and sometimes you just need to hear that you’re good,” adds Tanya.
Garden & Gun shared an exclusive preview of Take Me In with their readers yesterday. Dacey Sivewright noted, “quote from Dacey here taken from the piece.” She continued, “More from Dacey here.”
Hearts Town is the follow-up to The War And Treaty’s acclaimed 2018 debut The Healing Tide. During the past year, the duo maintained a steady touring schedule that included engagements opening for Al Green, Brandi Carlile, and Jason Isbell. They were featured on a multi-artist tribute that aired on the 62nd annual GRAMMY telecast in January, and a few weeks ago, they were among the performers on a star-studded virtual fundraiser for Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden.
They are confirmed as the opening act on John Legend’s upcoming tour (rescheduled from this summer to 2021) including Canadian show dates in Toronto and Vancouver. A full list of dates is below.
