Tom Goss & Kristen Ford

November 10 7:00 pm PST

Main Stage

Doors Open: 6:30

$20

Join singer-songwriter Tom Goss as he shares funny and touching stories, punctuated by the songs they inspired. Love, sex, wrestling, dropping out of the priesthood, a run in with a con man, family drama, and most importantly, the ability to persevere and make light at all of life’s twists and turns.

ABOUT TOM…
Tom is a musician, songwriter, and filmmaker. He uses his music to uplift people, and tell queer stories. He has a new record called “Remember What It Feels Like” and is currently writing about himself in the third person (which is weird).
Tom’s songs have been heard on ABC, HBO, Disney+, Here TV, and Univision, and his inventive music videos have been viewed more than 21 million times. He enjoys a particularly strong following in the LGBT community — singing about disillusionment, desire, and hope in an intimate yet relatable way — and has shared a stage with performers as diverse as Andy Grammer, Tiffany, Martha Wash, Taylor Dayne, Adrianne Gonzalez, Matt Alber, and Catie Curtis.

Tom was raised in Kenosha, Wisconsin, and went to college in Missouri on a wrestling scholarship with plans to become a schoolteacher. A year of student teaching changed his mind, but he still wanted to make a difference in the world — so he decided, to the surprise of family and friends, to become a Catholic priest, moving to Washington DC to enter seminary. Frustrated by a series of #metoo experiences, Tom found his voice in songwriting and performing. A true road warrior, he has built his career by performing over 1,500 shows all over the US and Europe.

LA based, road tested

Kristen Ford is a singer songwriter and multi-instrumentalist influenced by greats such as Alanis Morrisette, Radiohead and Ani Difranco. She navigates life as a biracial, queer girl and tours globally in pursuit of the perfect show. Her live performance morphs from unplugged solo acoustic to screaming, electric guitar soloing in front of a rock band to her dynamic one woman band using loops, beatboxing and a healthy case of ADHD to her advantage.

Ford’s Righteous Babe Records debut was produced by Ani Difranco, mixed by John Driskell Hopkins (Zac Brown Band) and is set to release early 2025. Kristen is endorsed by Gallagher Guitars, K&K pickups & G7th Capos
