A New Honor Gets Its First Name, and It's The War And Treaty

The Origins Vanguard Award has never been handed to anyone before. When it is given for the first time, it goes to The War And Treaty. An honor with no prior winners is a particular kind of compliment, because the duo's name becomes the measure for everyone who follows. For a town that spends its evenings deciding who is worth hearing, that is the sort of news worth passing along before the show.
