Girl Named Tom's One More Christmas Tour celebrates the holidays with original songs and a fresh take on popular yuletide classics. Known for their beautiful vocals and breathtaking harmonies, siblings Bekah, Joshua and Caleb Liechty began performing as a group in 2019. Two years later, they captured the hearts of America by winning season 21 of "The Voice." They were the first group ever to take home the top prize. During the competition, the talented trio landed four songs on iTunes' top 10, with two songs reaching #1. The songs, all covers, were listened to more than any other artist’s in any genre. A year later, they released a Christmas song and album, both of which topped the iTunes charts. These small-town siblings have a unique chemistry all their own. When they perform, their beautifully blended voices become a whole new creation unlike any vocal group today. Their show is truly a gift worth seeing this holiday season.
