The War and Treaty shined bright at the 2023 ACM Awards last night, marking the first time a black duo has performed on the ACM Awards. The emotional and powerhouse vocal performance of “Blank Page” brought the crowd to their feet, earning the duo a standing ovation. The performance can be viewed HERE.
"We felt like we had just moved into a new house. We felt nervous, we had our anxieties but we breathed in and said to each other, this feels like a nice place to put down some roots,” the duo said. "And having neighbors like Garth Brooks and Dolly Parton being so welcoming was the apple pie! Next stop, Nashville on Saturday!"
Additionally, the husband-and-wife duo recently received the exciting news of their nomination for “Duo/Group of the Year” at the upcoming Americana Honors & Awards. The duo previously won this award in 2022.
The War And Treaty’s ACM performance and Americana Honors & Awards nomination come on the heels of recent interview and performance on The Jennifer Hudson show - watch HERE.
