About Gable Price and Friends

Gable Price and Friends formed in 2018 in Redding, California out of a community of musicians pursuing honest and spiritually aware songwriting, connected to the Bethel Music world. Their sound blends alternative rock energy, emotive lyricism, and guitar-forward arrangements that feel both raw and thoughtful. The band built their early momentum on connection and authenticity rather than industry hype.

Early Artistic Impact

Their early releases resonated with listeners who craved music that allowed space for belief, doubt, and longing without simplification. Tracks like “I Don’t Wanna Live Like This” showed their ability to explore heavy themes with hope intact. Fans connected deeply with the tension between existential questions and spiritual hunger in their writing.

The Live Show Reputation of Gable Price and Friends

Gable Price and Friends built a strong touring reputation by cultivating rooms that feel communal rather than performative. Shows often swing from explosive, high-energy moments to sparse and reflective breaks. That range created a distinctive atmosphere that further cemented their identity as a live act.

Growing Visibility and Releases

Their debut album The Consequence of Being Alive widened their reach and attracted industry attention as streaming numbers grew. The album showcased narrative-focused songwriting that sits between rock, faith, and existential honesty. Singles from that project pushed their touring footprint forward and expanded their fanbase.

Current Creative Era

The band entered a new chapter with the release of the Jungle in the City in 2024, which demonstrated both sonic evolution and production maturity. The project maintained the emotional core fans expect while exploring broader creative territory. In this upcoming era, following Jungle in the City, the band is leaning back into their roots a little more. They plan to expand their language surrounding life with Jesus, their personal areas of growth, and challenge Christian culture; all while naming the plank in their own eye, too.

About Gable Price
