NC artists perform on The Voice semi-finals this week

Two North Carolina artists will perform on the semi-finals of “The Voice” this week.

The Voice airs Monday and Tuesday nights at 8 p.m. on NBC and WRAL. The five contestants headed to next week’s finale will be announced Tuesday night.

Josh Sanders from Kannapolis, N.C., and Tae Lewis from Goldsboro, N.C., are still in the running among nine contestants. You can watch their recent performances below or on YouTube.

Sanders, a country artist, has performed songs like “Black Water,” “Whiskey on You” and “Angels Don’t Always Have Wings.”

When asked about his next performance, Sanders told NBC News, “It’s gonna be an upbeat, go after it, go get it kind of song.”

After he was picked as a semi-finalist last week, Lewis told NBC News, “I almost like jumped out of my own body, that’s how excited I was.”

This season, award-winning country pop artists Dan + Shay join returning coaches Reba McEntire, John Legend and Chance the Rapper. Sanders is Team Reba, and Lewis is Team Dan + Shay.

Season 25 of “The Voice” ends May 20 and 21 in a two-part finale. You can get updates here on the winner.
