Just last year (2024), Ford faced a life-altering event when he suffered a near-fatal heart attack after a performance in Arizona, collapsing and dying twice. The experience of dying and being brought back to life felt otherworldly. Drawing strength from his love for family, friends, and fans, Ford powered through his recovery, which became a powerful wake-up call.
Now, with a second lease on life, Ford is charging into 2025 with renewed energy, ready to deliver new shows, fresh collaborations, and an arsenal of new music — mindful of the fact that life can change in the blink of an eye, and he plans to “walk a little slower” moving forward.
With roots in rap, Southern rock, and country, Ford has spent his career collaborating across genres, building a dynamic discography that includes millions of sales and billions of streams. From Toby Keith, Brad Paisley, Keith Urban, Jermaine Dupri and Bubba Sparxxx to members of No Doubt, Lit, and Lady A, the country-rap troubadour has carved out his own unique space in the music world, all while forging lasting friendships along the way. Moreover, Ford co-wrote Jason Aldean’s RIAA certified hit “Dirt Road Anthem” and Brantley Gilbert’s “Country Must Be Country Wide” — both of which reached number one on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart — solidifying his position as a behind-the-scenes powerhouse in the studio.
Born in Ventura, California, to Kathy Cash (one of four daughters Johnny Cash had with first wife Vivian Liberto Cash.) Thomas Gabriel spent time touring with grandparents Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash as a boy and became interested in music at an early age.
In addition to following in his family’s musical footsteps, Gabriel also followed down the path of substance abuse. His addictions led to a lengthy arrest record, and a number of years in prison.
The solitude of prison provoked him to explore songwriting again, a journey that he had begun in his youth.
After release, Thomas began paving a new path. Undoubtedly influenced by his iconic grandfather, in 2018 Gabriel began working on his debut album, Long Way Home.
Dedicated now to telling his story in an effort to help spread awareness for those battling addiction, Thomas Gabriel continues to aim his focus on writing and releasing new music and to touring the world.
It's been a rough road... a road less traveled, but when you meet Thomas Gabriel you'll soon learn that each and every twist and turn has taken him from the lowest of valleys to the highest of mountain tops. His songwriting is always personal and his stories are compelling.
From the Rodeos to Rodeo Drive, Presley Tennant is the result of unequivocal talent and western ease. Dubbed a “vocal powerhouse” by Taste of Country, People Magazine states Presley is “quickly proving that she is a wild card in the country music industry.” With roots in Norco and boots in Nashville, Tennant combines California charisma with country charm, blazing her own trail and designing a sound that is all her own.
Raised in Horsetown, USA just outside of Los Angeles, Tennant turned down a promising path filled with soccer opportunities to dedicate her time to music. With days filled with dance lessons, rehearsals and homeschooling, Presley found herself in the teenage all-girl pop group Five LPs, or Five Little Princesses. After the group fizzled out when she was 13, she continued down her path of pop music that she was familiar with, filled with intricate dance routines and vocal performances. At just 16-years-old, Presley made her national appearance on ‘The Voice’ and, inspired by Kelly Clarkson telling her to follow her heart, she made the move to country music where her roots truly lie.
Filled with uncompromising integrity, the ‘it’ factor and a dream, it’s no surprise Presley Tennant provides an unforgettable high-energy show. Not only has she performed for crowds over 20,000, she has shared the stage with musical heroes Tim Mcgraw, Kelly Clarkson, Carly Pearce, Blake Shelton, Cole Swindell and more.
