Girl Named Tom
Small-town sibling trio Girl Named Tom seeks to create harmony in a world divided. With their distinctive harmonies and heartfelt performances, Bekah, Joshua and Caleb Liechty won the hearts of America while becoming the only group ever to win NBC’s “The Voice.” In addition to their chart-topping covers (“River,” “The Chain” and “Dust in the Wind,” among others), GNT writes original music that will almost certainly project them to becoming the best-known harmony trio of their generation. $25+. 8 p.m. 128 E Forsyth St. #300, Jacksonville; floridatheatre.com // @floridatheatre
