There is one iconic band that was able to join The Voice competition. Girl Named Tom members include Caleb Liechty, 26, Joshua Liechty, 24, and Bekah Liechty, 20. They were initially from Pettisville, Ohio, but now reside in South Bend, Indiana.

2. How Was the Band Formed?

The sibling had initially intended to enroll in medical school but altered their plans after their father was diagnosed with rare cancer in 2017. To take care of their father, they opted to spend more time with the family rather than dividing their time between school and family responsibilities. They decided to start their band in 2019 because of this.

3. Their Great Journey to Music

They have been exposed to music ever since they were kids. The siblings’ first homeschooling made music a significant component of their education.

Despite the failure of their desire to become physicians, they were still able to honor their parents and hometown by performing 67 shows in 27 different US cities.

4. The Voice Competition Audition

5. Their Historical Win That Will Go Down History 

The siblings competed against Wendy Moten, Paris Winningham, Jershika Maple, and Hailey Mia during the final episode of season 21 of The Voice.

Their hard work paid off as they were named the new champions.
