Girl Named Tom slated to perform locally Jan. 29
Representatives from the Holland Theatre announce that sibling trio Girl Named Tom will take the stage Jan. 29.
The northwest Ohio natives have been winning judges’ and audience members’ votes this season on NBC’s The Voice with their distinctive harmonies and heart-winning performances.
Viewers can follow Girl Named Tom’s progress on The Voice on NBC at 7 p.m. EST Mondays and Tuesdays.
“We can’t wait to welcome Girl Named Tom to our beautiful theater,” Holland Theatre Artistic Director Chris Westhoff said. “They are incredibly talented singers who are finding a lot of success right now. We look forward to sharing their energy, talents, and enthusiasm with our own audience.”
Girl Named Tom is composed of Bekah, Joshua, and Caleb Liechty.
Homeschooled in their early school years, the siblings spent much of their childhood learning various instruments and singing. Their father was diagnosed with a rare cancer in 2017, around the same time Bekah was finishing high school and the boys were finishing college.
With their father’s prognosis uncertain, they decided to spend more time as family and formed their trio in 2019.
For their Holland appearance, GNT will perform a mix of original songs and acoustic pop covers like the arrangements of “Helplessly Hoping” and “Dust in the Wind” that have catapulted them into the live rounds of Season 21 of The Voice.
Tickets for the Holland Theatre show will go on sale in early December when the rest of the spring 2022 season is announced. Visit the theater’s social media or website, www.thehollandtheatre.org, for more information.
Built in 1931 in downtown Bellefontaine, the Holland is the nation’s only atmospheric Dutch theater. The building had fallen into disrepair in the 1990s after being converted into a cineplex but was saved from demolition when a local teacher and students took an interest in the structure.
Buoyed by community support and government and private grants, the theater completed a multi-million dollar restoration in 2019 shortly before COVID hit, as previously detailed in the Examiner. Staff and volunteers are offering a full slate of music and theater for the 2021-22 season.
