Season 17 winner of The Voice, Jake Hoot, is coming to the Reilly Arts Center on Friday, July 10! We’re also excited to share that Jake will return to the national NBC stage beginning February 23 as a featured competitor in this season’s The Voice: Battle of Champions.
Jake Hoot is a wonderful country music storyteller who doesn’t just sing country music-he
lives it. Rooted in faith, devoted to family, and carrying the heart of the country in every note!
His performance in Season 17 of the Knockout Rounds singing “Cover Me Up” brought
tears of joy to the audience and judges! He was born in Texas and raised between the
Dominican Republic and Tennessee, and his music embodies a life steeped in faith, family
and authenticity.
As part of NBC’s 2026 midseason premiere schedule “The Voice: Battle of Champions” will
premiere Monday Feb. 23rd with the winner being announced on April 29th. They’ll be 3
coaches, each working with 10 performers all former winners and finalists. Coaches will
be Adam Levine, John Legend and Kelly Clarkson who was Jake’s coach when he won
season 17. With Jake and Kelly working together again he has a good shot at winning the
Battle of Champions, GO Jake!

him live at the Reilly Arts Center on Friday July 10, 2026.
