Holly Tucker to perform National Anthem at DFWHC’s Annual Awards Luncheon next Friday!

10/16/2025



Well, the best laid plans! Our original National Anthem singer Jennifer Nickerson decided to get married and will be on her honeymoon at the time of our luncheon. But she graciously assisted us in finding a new singer and we could not be more thrilled!

Holly Tucker has stepped forward to assist in the singing duties for the DFW Hospital Council’s 77th Annual Awards Luncheon next Friday, October 24 at the Loews Arlington Hotel and Convention Center. The event will take place in the Honor Ballroom, with a reception beginning at 11:00 a.m. followed by the luncheon and awards from 12 noon to 1:45 p.m.

Tables and tickets are still available here.

Holly, who has been called the Angel of Texas Country Music, won the hearts of millions of television viewers in 2013 on Season 4 of NBC’s hit music reality show, “The Voice.”

She is the youngest of 3 children born to Johnny and Cheryl Tucker, founders of the 80’s Christian band, Revised Edition. Holly grew up singing in church and performing on various stages at fairs, churches and festivals around Texas. From the young age of 14, Holly began her career as a recording artist. Her discography includes:

    • Her first full-length album entitled “It’s About Time” (2007)
    • A second full-length album, “Love is What She Likes” (2010)
    • Her breakout, full-length independent album, “Steel” (2016)
    • Her two-part independent album, “You’re Gonna Know My Name” (2019).

During her 2013 appearance on “The Voice,” she rose to the Top 6 out of 40,000 auditioners. Holly, on Team Blake Shelton, was one of only 7 contestants that season to receive an impressive “4-chair-turn.” Her voice has been described by Coach Blake as “the most effortless, accurate, and powerful voice he’s ever heard,” and is one of Texas Country Music Association’s recent Female Vocalists of the Year.

Holly carries on a tradition at DFWHC’s Annual Awards Luncheon where regional talent performs the National Anthem, with past guests including Celena Rae, John Liddle, Carrie Barton, the Dallas Street Choir, Freddie Jones and Jason Castro.
