Girl Named Tom is an American folk sibling trio from Pettisville, Ohio composed of Bekah Grace Liechty (born August 2000), Joshua Liechty (born 1998), and Caleb Liechty (born 1995).[1] They are the winners of season 21 of the American talent competition The Voice, with the distinction of being the first trio on the American version of The Voice to win the competition. They competed on the team coached by Kelly Clarkson, taking her 4th and final win as a coach.[2]
The band name was inspired by Joshua and Caleb's desire to have another brother and originates from Joshua calling their sister Bekah "Thomas" when she was a baby.
