We’re thrilled to announce that The Voice’s Nicholas David will join our lineup of musical performers at the 2013 Green Inaugural Ball.

The singer/songwriter/pianist and second-place finisher is known for his creative twists on ‘60s and ‘70s classics. David also became famous for making his mentor Cee Lo Green cry after serenading his pregnant wife with “You Are So Beautiful.” Watch another one of his popular performances from The Voice below:

Winter’s “earth music” celebrates the creatures and cultures of Earth, and has led him to be awarded the Courage of Conscience Award for creating music that celebrates the sacredness of life. Take a listen to Paul Winter’s beautiful performance of “Sun Singer” here:
