Small-town sibling trio Girl Named Tom seeks to create harmony in a world divided. With their distinctive harmonies and heartfelt performances, Bekah, Joshua, and Caleb Liechty won the hearts of America while becoming the only group to ever win NBC’s “The Voice.” In addition to their chart-topping covers (“River,” “The Chain,” & “Dust in the Wind” among others), GNT writes original music that will almost certainly project them to becoming the best-known harmony trio of their generation.
With their debut EP, "Another World," Girl Named Tom sweeps the listener into reflective space, exploring fond memories, global issues, and intimate conversations. Audiences have been "...blown away by the musicality and harmonies, creativity, honesty, beauty. This sibling trio is stardust." Crazy World exhibits "crystal clear lead vocals, driving (and unique) percussion, and after 3 minutes build up an amazing section of their 3 voices intermeshing together."
Based in the Midwest, Girl Named Tom performed all over the country during the band's first year before the pandemic struck. Now, after winning The Voice, they have not slowed down performing for fans from the East to West coasts. Their performances at The Niswonger Performing Arts Center on January 30 included two sold-out performances. In just 7 days, 2400 pre-sale tickets were sold before the event was released for General Sales. Girl Named Tom's performances are all uniquely special with not two being the same. Returning to Van Wert with their band, some new material, and performing in a new venue will create an experience that is fresh and new for their growing fan base.
