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
the wind knocked out of you and yet to feel the very breath 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, which is 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. www.tammytrent.com
