Holly Forbes from The Voice Season 21

Here’s more about Holly. Season 21 of The Voice kicks off Monday, Sept. 20, on NBC.

* She’s featured in a Voice promo released Tuesday, turning four chairs with a splendid version of Elton John’s “Rocket Man.”

* She’s the mother of two, Kentucky-based, according to her Twitter account, but has also performed extensively in West Virginia.

* For several years, she was part of a duo called Holly and the Guy. In a 2014 interview, Holly said they met on Craigslist while seeking jam partners, and the duo materialized from there.

* They started off as an acoustic duo, but eventually moved toward more of a soul/ R&B sound, according to that article.

* The article refers to a four-song EP Holly and the Guy released, but it isn’t available on streaming sites.

* A 2019 single called “All Day” is, and you can check out more original music from the duo on Soundcloud.

* The last music-related post to the Holly and the Guy Instagram page was in December 2019, so it doesn’t appear the duo is still active.

* As a soloist, Holly took part in a Rolling Stones Tribute in Charleston, W.Va., in late August, writing “I am super honored to be included in this lineup.”

* And you can check out a large number of solo covers from Holly on her YouTube channel. Check out her superb cover of “Hallelujah” below.

* She also recently got engaged to fiancee Seth Carey, judging from her Instagram page.
