How Missouri teen Ruby Leigh yodeled her way to ‘The Voice’ finale — and rocked with Green Day

When Ruby Leigh stepped onto “The Voice” stage in 2023, she got all four chairs to turn during her blind audition. Just 17 at the time, Leigh went on to finish as runner-up on the NBC singing competition. But her journey started long before reality TV, in the tiny town of Foley, Missouri, population 100. Leigh talks about her journey as a self-taught singer, her time on national TV, performing at the Grand Ole Opry, and what it was like sharing the stage with her favorite rock band, Green Day.
