Tammy Trent

Tammy's story is one of despair and unexpected grace. In September 2001 she and her husband, Trent (from whom her stage name comes from), spent a few days in Jamaica - part mission trip, part vacation. On September 10th, Trent went diving and never returned. Tammy spent the rest of the day with rescue divers trying to locate her husband with no success. She woke up the next morning in the home of strangers to discover that the whole world had gone mad. As she waited for news of her husband, she watched the news as two planes plowed into the Twin Towers in New York - later that day she had to identify the body of her husband. No one in her family could get to her as flights were canceled. She was held captive in Jamaica for ten more days waiting to return to her family. Tammy's story of God's grace in the midst of such pain, fear and loss touches everyone she ministers to. It is one thing to call the Lord shepherd - it is another to be carried by Him when you can no longer stand. Tammy is constantly amazed by our Lord's commitment to us in the worst moments of our lives.

Tammy signed her first record deal in 1995 and has followed that calling on her life with great passion ever since. With the national release of 3 CD's that have garnered three #1 hits and a handful of top ten hits, Tammy continues to sing her way through to the hearts of thousands. She is currently in the studio recording her first full project in over 5 years. (Due out Winter 2005). Her life is real. Her music is real. Her words are real and her God is real. You see it in everything she does. Why? How? Because she knows what it's like to have to wind knocked out of you and yet to feel the very breathe of God bringing you back to life again. An evening spent with Tammy is like one big living room, just hanging out with your friends. That is her gift to the world. Letting you in, making you feel comfortable and then sharing her God, her faith and her hope in one of the most authentic, tender and humorous ways.

You'll find Tammy with a full touring schedule including dates on the Women of Faith Tour and the Revolve Tour, for teen girls sponsored by Women of Faith. June 2005 will mark the National release of her second book, "Beyond the Sorrow", published by J Countryman, which follows in the footsteps of her best-selling book "Learning to Breathe Again" by W Publishing.
