The War and Treaty were nominated at Thursday's ACM Awards for duo of the yearMichael Trotter, Jr. said "that while he and his wife Tanya got a big ole standing ovation, their songs are not played on country radio. Everyone needs to try harder and show up and do their part, and that's why we're here"; he explained. The War and Treaty are grateful to be recognized among the 2024 ACM Awards nominees, but the trailblazing pair wants to see the country music space embrace even more artists of color going forward.

Gay Ole Opry

Why queer country music? Because sometimes you love a culture that doesn’t love you back. And when everyone came to the first Gay Ole Opry in April of 2011 in all their country finery, we knew we weren’t alone. We do it because we love the music and want to build a community to support queer country musicians.
