There are only 2 times while watching NBC's The Voice that I picked the winners of the season during their blind auditions, not because I have a crystal ball and can predict these things, but solely because I loved their voices so much during the blinds, I wanted them to win. Ears don't lie. Girl Named Tom was one of the 2 talents I rooted for all the way through to their win! {Since someone emailed to ask I'll tell you the other singer: Jordan Smith, season 9}.
It turns out this sibling group has uploaded on YouTube lots of entertaining videos, including their music; sometimes lessons introducing viewers to grassroots music around their native Ohio; and sharing stories about touring.
Now that I'm a Girl Named Tom fan, I'll enjoy watching their careers rise. I'm happy they have each other on their journey, and can't wait to see what's next for them. Check them out here on the blog, see them while they're playing smaller venues, and keep them on your radar!
Here's a bit more about the sibling group ... Enjoy!ðµ♩♪
On YouTube, I go on there looking for a particular song, and find a different version by a different (known) artist, or by someone new. Sometimes better (or more fun to sing along with), sometimes not.
ReplyDeleteFor these guys (girls?) that you found, I think that they do better than Eagles on Seven Bridges Road. When Eagles did this, they were already past their prime and looking for new angles. On the "Dust in the Wind" song, I would go with Kansas version from 1978.
And on "Helplessly Hoping"- I am viewing this a day or two after death of David Crosby- so no comment on that one.
Thanks Barry for your thoughts. I'm gaga over these siblings, absolutely love them and as I said, will enjoy following their career as they get more opportunities.
