The War and Treaty’s Michael and Tanya Trotter grew up in Cleveland, Ohio, and Washington, DC, respectively, but both have family roots in the South. They also grew up in the musical traditions of their churches – Tanya in the Black Baptist Church and Michael in the Seventh Day Adventist Church – where they learned the power of song to move people. After becoming a father at a very young age, Michael eventually joined the armed forces and served in Iraq and Germany, where he took up songwriting as a way of dealing with his experiences there. Meanwhile Tanya embarked on a singing and acting career after a breakthrough appearance in Sister Act 2 alongside Whoopi Goldberg and Lauryn Hill. Now, after a long and sometimes traumatic journey, Michael and Tanya are married, touring, winning all sorts of awards, and set to release their fifth album together, and their fourth as The War and Treaty. Sid talks to Michael and Tanya about the new record, Plus One , as well as their collaboration with Miranda Lambert, what it was like to record at FAME studios in Muscle Shoals, and how they’re blending country, soul, gospel, and R&B.

Send us a text "Good At Being Alone" is a song about the balance between being social and needing solitude. As an introvert, I love spending time with friends and family, going out, and meeting new people—but I also need space to recharge. It's not about isolation; it's about finding peace in being alone. One of my favorite lines in the song is, "I'm just a mammal in the sea, I need to surface just to breathe." That’s exactly how I feel about life—I dive into social experiences, but every so often, I need to step away, decompress, and create. That’s what this song is about: not loneliness, but the joy of solitude. Find more programs at https://www.milwaukeepbs.org/stream…

Send us a text "Embozi" is a song born from a moment of deep uncertainty. I was losing my balance, losing myself, and struggling to find my direction again. Music, which had always been my anchor, felt like it was slipping away. I had this thought—maybe I’ll write one last song, one last album, and then I’m done. But then came a long drive to Nashville, a full week of songwriting ahead, and hours alone in the car with nothing but my own thoughts. No music, no distractions—just silence. And in that silence, I finally heard the voice that had always kept me steady—a voice I hadn’t heard in a long time. "Embozi" means talk or rumor in Uganda, and at that time, the noise of doubt and fear was deafening. But this song came from the moment when the real voice—the one that keeps me moving forward—cut through all of it. These are the words that voice said.

Send us a text "Golden Brown" is a deeply personal song I wrote for my wife while working on my first album. I wanted to include something just for her, a quiet tribute to how much she means to me. Over time, as our family has grown, the song has taken on even greater meaning. Now, when I sing it, I feel its weight even more—especially the line, "Oh my God, if you take this away from me, I might forfeit what is left." It’s no longer just about my love for her, but also for our son, and the realization that without them, there might be nothing else. Find more programs at https://www.milwaukeepbs.org/stream…
Send us a text Between 1916 and 1970, roughly six million African-Americans living in the South uprooted their families to migrate to cities in the West and North. They came seeking the promise of a better life; escape from racial violence, better jobs, higher wages, and better educational opportunities. Milwaukee and Wisconsin began to feel the shift in the 1940s. Just before WWII, Milwaukee’s Black population totaled about 1.5 percent. By 1950 that number had increased to 3.5 per cent, approximately 22,000 people. By 1970 the number had ballooned to 103,000 people, and by the turn of the century, Milwaukee’s Black population exceeded 200,000 people. “Milwaukee s Migration Families” talks with Black residents who left the South for a better life; and first and second generation Milwaukeeans currently living here to find out whether things actually improved for them by coming here.

Send us a text Did you know new videogames are still being created for the NES? That's right, the almost 4 decade old videogame console is still chuggin'! While traveling around the country with his indie rock band, Spaceraft, Jordan and his bandmates spent their free time playing old NES favorites like Tecmo Bowl and Excitebike. He grew to appreciate the artistry and design of those classic Nintendo games and, being a musician, he became infatuated with their soundtracks. After doing a little research he discovered the world of NES game design was alive and well. He started composing music for developers, and then some design, and then some programming and eventually, created his very own game, Spaceraft. Named after his band, the game stars himself and his bandmates as they travel around Milwaukee looking for their stolen mastertapes. It's a work of art brimming with vibrancy, uniqueness, and lots of familiar Milwaukee establishments. Find more programs at https://www.milwaukeepbs.org/stream…

Send us a text When Black neighborhoods in scores of American cities erupted in violence during the summer of 1967, President Lyndon Johnson appointed the National Advisory Commission on Civil Disorders - informally known as the Kerner Commission - to answer three questions: What happened? Why did it happen? And what could be done to prevent it from happening again? The commission's final report, issued in March of 1968, would offer a shockingly unvarnished assessment of American race relations - a verdict so politically explosive that Johnson refused to acknowledge it publicly or even thank the commissioners for their service. Featuring interviews with commission staffers and the last surviving commission member, Senator Fred Harris, The Riot Report explores a pivotal moment in our nation's history and the fraught social dynamics that simultaneously spurred the commission's investigation and doomed its findings to political oblivion. Immediately following the conclusion of the documentary, Milwaukee PBS hosted a virtual discussion on the civil rights struggles in Milwaukee, both from the 1960’s and today.

Send us a text "Picture this: it's the dead of night, and I find myself wandering through a dimly lit room, the air heavy with creative energy. In the corner, a few of my fellow songwriters are huddled together, strumming a melody that seems to have materialized out of the ether. As I join them, the pieces start to fall into place, and within the span of an hour, we've birthed a song that feels like it's been whispered to us from some unseen muse. Reflecting on that moment, I can't help but feel like the song is a reflection of our shared human experience—fragile, flawed, yet endlessly resilient. It speaks to the tendencies we all have towards self-sabotage, those moments when we seem to trip ourselves up just as life starts to tip in our favor. It's as if the universe has a way of balancing out our joy with a touch of melancholy, a reminder of our own vulnerability. So, in essence, our song becomes an exploration of this delicate dance between light and shadow, happiness and sorrow. It's a testament to the beauty found in our imperfections, and a reminder that even in our darkest moments, there's always a glimmer of hope waiting to be discovered."

Send us a text "Whatever We Are" is a poignant original song that grapples with the weighty themes of life and death, inspired by the Latin phrase "memento mori" which translates to "remember you will die."

Originally written for the play "Memento Mori," the song serves as a powerful reflection on the transient nature of existence and the myriad interpretations of what it means to be alive. Through its evocative lyrics and emotive melody, "Whatever We Are" navigates the complexities of mortality with grace and sensitivity, offering solace and understanding to those who contemplate life's inevitable end. While the title may evoke a sense of bleakness, the song itself is anything but. It serves as a reminder that death is not the end, but rather a natural part of the human experience. By exploring themes of life, death, and the journey in between, "Whatever We Are" encourages listeners to cherish each moment and embrace the beauty of existence, knowing that in the end, it is not the destination that defines us, but the journey itself.

I think that mental health is health, there's a massive stigma around it in this country despite how much the conversation has opened up. I still think it's kind kind of a no no. It's about somebody that I was very close to that I just slowly watched kind of slip away, and in my opinion was not getting the love or support or help that they needed, but when you argue with reality you lose every time, all the time, so they're gone now and they're in the great beyond and I honor them and love them with this.

It's like a musical time machine that takes you on a journey through his love for music, which, trust us, goes way back! 🎶 🪕 Derek's inspiration for "Pardon Me" is a tale as old as the hills, rooted in the rhythms of Bluegrass legends like Ralph Stanley and Bill Monroe. Imagine this: the twang of strings, the ache in the lyrics—it's the kind of song that tugs at your heartstrings and gets your feet tappin' at the same time! 🛤️ And here's a fun twist: "Pardon Me" started off as a musical exercise, a little exploration into the Bluegrass world.

Derek's imagination ran wild, conjuring up a character from 1912, navigating life's twists and turns, filled with regrets and nostalgia.

Send us a text "More than nearly any other musician in the Milwaukee scene, Klassik wears many hats: rapper, soul man, producer, collaborator, mentor, keeper of the American songbook. His modernist, jazz-saturated compositions are unlike anything else coming out of the city, but he has a gift for more traditional styles as well, as he demonstrated on American Klassiks, his recently recorded live album with SistaStrings and Nickel&Rose. Regardless of which side of the booth he’s on, he’s a force." (Evan Rytlewski, Shepherd Express, citation on winning the 2018 Shepherd Express' Best Of Milwaukee Rap-Hip Hop Producer for the third consecutive year) This is the sonic realm of Klassik, the multi-instrumentalist producer and performer. He is as dexterous a rapper as he is an impassioned and soulful singer, often highlighted by his intense and incisive falsetto. All of this is intertwined with his own unique, personal and unbridled storytelling. With a penchant for curation and collaboration, which he likens to that of one of his biggest inspirations, Quincy Jones, Klassik’s production is crafted with intent, beauty and depth of musicality. At the age of 10, he began studying saxophone with the Milwaukee jazz legend Berkeley Fudge, whose teachings provided the musical foundation that informs his work to this day. Klassik’s development continued through years of public arts schools, a (very) brief collegiate trip, and throughout all of this, an evolution from jazz saxophonist to producer, emcee, singer and all-around entertainer. His debut EP, DEATH OF A BEATMAKER, established him within the local scene, and his subsequent full-length, IN THE MAKING, introduced him to a national audience. Quickly garnering numerous awards over the next few years, Klassik took advantage of his growing acclaim by stepping up to huge opening performance opportunities for highly-acclaimed and established artists, including Ludacris, Talib Kweli, Kendrick Lamar, Banks, DJ Premier, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony and Rakim. Since his last full length, the critically acclaimed SEASONS, Klassik has spent time continuing to broaden and refine his production skills. In 2017, he curated TRIBE UNCOVERED at Turner Hall, where he led 20+ of the city’s most exciting musicians in a re-imagining of the work of Tribe Called Quest. He followed this in 2018 with curating, recording, and releasing his first live album, AMERICAN KLASSIKS, a reinterpretation of classic hymns, anthems and spirituals, re-imagined with deep 808s, lush strings, and deft lyrical and musical improvisation, delivered as both social commentaries and declarations of hope and resilience. His most recent album (QUIET, 2019) was named the #1 album of 2019 by the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, and garnered awards for Best Solo Artist and Critic’s Choice for Album of the Year at the 2019 Radio Milwaukee Music Awards. A true class act, Klassik works to stir the souls of listeners into action with empathy, passion, and purpose through his own self-reflective sonic art. https://www.iamklassik.com/ Find more programs at https://www.milwaukeepbs.org/stream…

He challenges the boundaries of folk, pop, and rock to create a refreshingly honest and unique take on indie music. "Beef and Etc is, Believe It or Not, a serious song, even with the little bit silly title. I think it's another song that's very much me sort of talking to myself in it. I think that overall in my life there's been times where I've been quiet a little bit to a fault and unable to express some things that you know could really help me through different situations. I think that song is just sort of an honest piece. Kind of talking about some of those struggles that I have gone through in my life just with my personal inability to communicate certain things. I very much write from a place of talking to this other person but I think oftentimes it, whether I intend for it to be or not, is sort of me talking to myself so I think at least thematically that is where it came from."

Send us a text "We have modern-day heroes, like Patricia Lynch, who went beyond anybody's ideals, and resurrected something that nobody really thought would be successful." In our new episode of "The Women Founders: Milwaukee Soldiers Home," we say thank you to the women today who continue to be torchbearers for veterans and their caretakers. The producers of the digital series, The Women Founders: Milwaukee Soldiers Home, would like to thank the Civil War Museum in Kenosha as well as the Wisconsin Club in Milwaukee for allowing us to film part of this series at their locations.

Send us a text By 1864, the group of women who were caring for returning Civil War veterans in temporary storefronts along Water Street quickly realized that they needed more space. But a new permanent home required money. Lots of it. So in the summer of 1865, they would throw a fair — a fair we're still talking about more than 150 years later. That's on the next episode of our digital series, "The Women Founders: Milwaukee Soldiers Home." The producers of the digital series, The Women Founders: Milwaukee Soldiers Home, would like to thank the Civil War Museum in Kenosha as well as the Wisconsin Club in Milwaukee for allowing us to film part of this series at their locations.

Send us a text In 1862, a group of young women formed the West Side Soldiers' Aid Society to help care for Civil War veterans returning home from battle. They quickly became what historians called the city's most important group and arguably most responsible for today's Milwaukee Soldiers Home. More than a century later, a group of modern-day women resurrected the West Side Soldiers' Aid Society.

Send us a text During the early stages of the Civil War, groups of women throughout Milwaukee began to organize in service of soldiers returning home from battle. They were not content to merely dip their toes in philanthropy, donating a few dollars to the cause. Instead, these Milwaukee women, who were once described as the "greatest auxiliary force of the army," planned and executed a relentless campaign.

Send us a text Let's explore the music of everyday life in Riverwest, where within earshot you can hear everything from punk to opera — which underscores the incredible diversity of the neighborhood. We go beyond the music scene and into the soundscape by considering the bells of St. Casimir. The church's vibrating-boom of bronze is omnipresent, which proved to be a haunting sound 100 years ago during the Spanish flu. And we hear from the man with the sweetest song of all, mailman Mike, who is without a doubt one of the most well-known and well-liked humans in the neighborhood.

Send us a text The mayor’s alternative version of the Black History Month recognition goes up for a final vote, but not before an intense debate featuring a “stick to sports” argument, some awkward anecdotes and a surprisingly relevant migratory bird resolution that passed just a month before. As we wrap up this trilogy on the battle for Black history in Brookfield, our hosts get personal as they reflect on the segregation in Milwaukee’s suburbs. Here are some notes and references from this episode: A tip of the hat to Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reporter Evan Casey, who covered this story as it happened. Read his story about Brookfield's Black History Month recognition, which includes some great photos of the students at the center of this story. Check out 88.9 Radio Milwaukee's six-part podcast series "By Every Measure ," which unpacks systemic racism in Milwaukee. The Washington Post earlier this year examined the new Great Migration , in which Black Americans are returning back to the South. Lots of good data here. Here's where you can check out Brookfield's International Migratory Bird Day resolution . If you want to watch any of this drama play out as it happened, the City of Brookfield does record and post Common Council meetings . Find more programs at https://www.milwaukeepbs.org/stream…
Send us a text The battle for Black history in Brookfield continues with part II of the story. The resolution written by the students enters City Hall and things don’t go according to plan. What ensues is an intense debate about the “appropriate” way to honor Black History Month. We hear rousing speeches from the high schoolers, a “timeless” comment from a council member and plot twist from the mayor. Find more programs at https://www.milwaukeepbs.org/stream…
Send us a text The Black Lives Matter protests that emerged in the aftermath of the murder of George Floyd inspired a group of diverse high school students to confront the predominantly white suburb of Brookfield to be a more inclusive community. And they did that by writing and proposing a resolution to honor Black History Month — a resolution that turned out to be too controversial. This is a story about how these civically engaged teenagers are forcing their hometown to grapple with race, accountability and the whitewashing of American history. Here are some notes and references from this episode: Our "Porch Politics" video segment featuring voter perspectives from the WOW counties. The Marquette University Law School Poll from Aug. 30 to Sept. 30, 2020, which asked potential voters about their attitudes about "the Black Lives Matter movement." Spectrum News 1's coverage of the Black Lives Matter protest in Brookfield on June 5, 2020. DC Fallout's Bandcamp page .
