Could another singer from Upstate New York follow in Sofronio Vasquez’s footsteps and win “The Voice?’

Aaron Rizzo, from Rochester, N.Y., wowed the judges with a cover of Train’s “Drops of Jupiter (Tell Me)” during the NBC show’s Blind Auditions Monday night. He joined Team Bublé after getting a chair turn from the Canadian crooner who won last season with Vasquez.

“Aaron is exactly who I was looking for,” coach Michael Bublé said. “When I heard that unique voice, I was thrilled to push my button.”

According to his website, Rizzo is an independent rock musician, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and session musician who has released three full-length albums. Now based in Atlanta, he’s had songs appear in TV shows like “Shameless” and “Black-ish,” plus a T-Mobile ad, and won an award for best score for his work on the short film “Optic Nerve” at the Sick ‘N Wrong Film Festival.

Vasquez, of Utica, N.Y., was crowned the season 26 winner of “The Voice” winner in December. It was Team Bublé‘s first victory on the singing competition and the second time in show history that an Upstate New York singer won, after Sawyer Fredericks on season 8 in 2015.

“The Voice” is currently in its 27th season with Bublé, Adam Levine, John Legend and Kelsea Ballerini. Episodes air Mondays at 8 p.m. ET on NBC and stream the next day on Peacock.
