Fairport native moving on to the 'knockout round' of The Voice
Fairport native Lucas West is moving on to the "knockout round" of NBC's singing competition The Voice. John Legend chose him to move on.
www.whec.comHere’s the latest I can share based on recent reporting:
- Lucas West, a Fairport, New York native and SUNY Fredonia student, advanced to The Voice season 29 finale and finished in third place. This was covered by local outlets noting his progression to the finale and his performance of Paul McCartney’s Maybe I’m Amazed in the semifinals, representing Team John Legend.[1][5][7]
- After the finale, local outlets highlighted a senior recital Lucas planned back home in Dunkirk-Fredonia, signaling ongoing musical activities and community engagement following his The Voice run.[3]
- Coverage from Upstate New York outlets confirmed his third-place finish in the finale and tied his journey to SUNY Fredonia, noting his status as a 21-year-old senior and his strong piano skills and rock-influenced performances on the show.[4][7]
- There has been some media discussion and fan commentary around the finale outcomes and Lucas’s future projects, including features that frame his The Voice experience within a broader Upstate New York music scene.[2][8]
If you’d like, I can pull the most recent local articles and provide a compact timeline of his The Voice journey (blind audition → knockout → semifinals → finale) with citations. I can also summarize upcoming appearances or recitals you might expect in the near term.
