LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Tanner Frick has emerged as one of the standout contestants on 'The Voice' Season 26, determined to show that pursuing his passion for music was the right career choice. Tanner, from Manchester, works in a role that’s quite far removed from the spotlight—he regulates the city’s sewer systems to ensure everything runs smoothly and that clean water is maintained. Having grown up surrounded by music, many people advised Tanner that pursuing it as a career wasn't practical or secure.

His father raised him to value hard work and stability, but Tanner always gravitated toward music. Although he never pursued it seriously, he enjoyed performing at small events like birthday parties and local bars. Everything changed when Tanner met his wife, Madison, who encouraged him to follow his dreams. Inspired by her support, Tanner took a leap of faith and auditioned for The Voice, determined to show that music is not just a hobby for him, but his true passion. Now, Tanner enjoys a simple life with his wife, three dogs, and two acres of land. Yet he is proving to himself and others that chasing a dream is worth the risk. His journey on 'The Voice' isn't about winning some competition; it's about showing he didn't take the wrong path.

How many chair turns did Tanner Frick's performance see?

Tanner Frick made a significant impact in the Season 26 of 'The Voice', impressively receiving chair turns from all four coaches. He performed 'Thought You Should Know' by Morgan Wallen during his audition. As soon as Tanner began singing, all four coaches—Reba McEntire, Gwen Stefani, Snoop Dogg, and Michael Bolton—were captivated by the gold in his voice and quickly turned their chairs to show their interest in having him on their teams.
