Stovall said the hardest part about winning a spot on Blake Shelton’s team for
“The Voice” wasn’t the pre-show jitters, but having to keep it a secret from
everyone.
The 35-year-old Columbia
native, and multiple Best of Maury County Awards winner for Best Entertainer or
Local Band, said she began her journey to the small screen in January, where
she underwent several auditions and spent the summer in Los Angeles while
juggling a full touring schedule with Nashville radio host Bobby Bones and his
band, The Raging Idiots, as well as her own group, The Drive.
#TEAMBLAKE Baby!!! These sweet, talented, beautiful people are not only my team members but friends. I can’t...

She said the process from
the initial phone calls to the taped auditions is not as quick a process as
people might think, especially as a full time musician.
“I got a call to come in and audition in December, and they had
auditions in Nashville where I went in and sang for some people. Then they had
me come out in March to do another round of callbacks and things,” Stovall
said….. She said auditioning for “The Voice” was a “no
brainer” choice for her. Her former label, HitStop/Warner
Brothers Records, folded in 2013 following the release of her Top 40
single, “Baby Come on With It,” forcing Stovall to regroup and push on
without the backings of a major label. “The Voice” is also a show she feels
puts a lot of its focus on the talent each contestant bring to the table. Read more
The
Battle Rounds start on October 16. Season thirteen's advisors include Rascal Flatts for Team Blake.

Stovall is best known for her violin playing. Raised in Columbia,
Tennessee, she first started taking lessons on the instrument when she was four
years old, and she was performing professionally by the time she was ten, making

Stovall was selected at The
93rd Annual White House Press Correspondents Dinner in 2007, where she sang
"God Bless America" a a cappella and got to meet George W Bush and

guitarist Miguel Cancino, bassist and vocalist Zach Morse, and guitarist and
vocalist Joel Dormer), which she formed in 2006, releasing a six-song EP, STANDING MY GROUND, with Hat Factory
Records in 2010. Stovall and the band kept at a vigorous touring schedule,
working some 200 shows a year, and early in 2013 HitShop Records president Skip
Bishop caught one of their powerhouse shows in Nashville and signed the group
to the label, putting them in a studio with producer Paul Worley to work on a debut full-length album.
