Girl Named Tom is set to perform “America The Beautiful” ahead of the 106th running of the Indianapolis 500 this weekend.
The trio, who rose to fame as the winner of Season 21 of NBC’s The Voice, will put their family harmonies on full display with the pre-race performance, taking place on Sunday, May 29 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
The sibling trio, comprised of Caleb, Joshua and Bekah Liechty, was crowned the winner of The Voice in December of 2021.
Throughout the season, Girl Named Tom covered songs by Fleetwood Mac, The Eagles, Glen Campbell, Ingrid Andress, and Coldplay (just to name a few). They won over the hearts of millions as a member of Kelly Clarkson’s Team Kelly and made history as the first-ever trio to make it to The Voice finale and win the competition.
“Caleb, Joshua and Bekah captured the attention of America during their winning run on ‘The Voice,’ and their performance will be one of the highlights of pre-race ceremonies,” IMS President J. Douglas Boles said. “We welcome them back home again to Indiana along with the huge crowd on Race Day and live national TV audience on NBC and eagerly look forward to their rendition of this beautiful tribute to our great nation.”
The 106th running of the Indianapolis 500 will take place on Sunday, May 29. Coverage of the race will air live beginning at 11:00 a.m. ET on NBC and run through 4:00 p.m. ET.
The Indy 500 will also be available via streaming on the NBC Sports App and NBCSports.com.
