Girl Named Tom is an American folk trio from Pettisville, Ohio,[1] consisting of siblings Caleb, Joshua, and Bekah Liechty.[2] They are the winners of season 21 of the American talent competition The Voice, with the distinction of being the first trio to win The Voice. They competed on the team coached by Kelly Clarkson, giving Clarkson her fourth victory as a coach.[3] Their audition was the first audition, as well as the first four-chair turn, of season 21.[4]

Career[]

2019–2020: Band formation and Another World[]

Originally intending to go to medical school, all three siblings decided to form a band.[5] The band name was inspired by Joshua and Caleb's desire to have another brother and Joshua called their sister Bekah "Thomas" when she was a baby. They released their first single, Barrier Island, independently in November 2019[6] and their first EP, Another World, the following month.[7]

2021–present: Hits from the Road and The Voice[]

On New Year's Day 2021, they released a second single, Backup Plan.[8] In February, they released their first album, Hits from the Road, an album of covers.[9] They released a holiday single, No Snow For Christmas, the day after the Voice finale, under Republic Records.[10][11]
