�� alum takes the stage in NBC's 'The Voice'

Austin Jenckes has gone national with the unique way the singer/songwriter honors his late father.

Jenckes, a 25-year-old Western Washington University graduate, uses his father's 41-year-old guitar while performing. It's especially poignant when he sings "Simple Man," the song he wrote in memory of his father, Zac Jenckes, who passed away when Austin was 16 years old.
