Performance:

Chevel Shepherd, 16

Team Kelly

Hometown: La Plata, New Mexico

Chevel's powerful voice does not necessarily match her petite stature at just 16 years old. Chevel was raised on country music and the outdoors-often doing crafts, feeding the animals, and fixing up cars with her dad. Since Chevel was eight, she has been singing in town wherever she can, but there aren't a lot of music opportunities where she lives. Chevel is ready for her talents to be heard BEYOND her small town.

Performance:

Dave Fenley, 39

Team Blake

Dave grew up singing in church like most, but it wasn't until college that he decided he wanted to pursue music. Against his parents' wishes, he made the hard decision to drop out of college and start performing. Dave worked odd jobs to pay the bills and would gig as much as possible at night. As the gigs picked up, he was able to do music full-time. Dave now lives in NASHVILLE with his wife Eden, performs at private events, and writes songs for a living.

Franc spent his childhood watching his mother lead and direct the church choir. Inspired, he quickly learned to play the piano and drums, but didn't discover his voice until joining the United States Navy.

His goal is to show his 12-year-old son how to pursue and achieve his own dreams.

Just as things were looking up, Jake's mom became ill and was bedridden with Lyme disease and Hashimoto, an autoimmune disorder. As she got better Jake HIT THE ROAD to play his own music.
