Gable Price stops hiding faith in his songwriting

Gable Price, who seven years ago started a musical project in Redding, California that became Gable Price and Friends, has decided to stop obscuring his Christian faith in his songwriting and publicly identify as a Christian artist. For years, when asked whether the band was Christian, Price gave evasive answers, worried about being pigeonholed. He wrote about Jesus, God, and heaven frequently but downplayed the faith element, even joking that the band were "the bad boys of K-Love." The project began after Price didn't make a worship team at his ministry school and fundraised $1,000 for a four-song EP with friends; he is now the only original member remaining. An album called Fraction Heart, which came from a period Price describes as a faith crisis, resonated with listeners but led some to assume he had abandoned his faith — the opposite of what was true. The band's newest single, "One Bedroom Apartment," released August 21, borrows directly from Joshua 24 in its chorus and makes Price's faith explicit. Price credits a performance supporting Switchfoot at a Charlotte festival as a turning point, realizing that bands playing with full conviction outperformed those hedging their message.
