You don’t often see a country artist tackle progressive metal, but Jacquie Roar is an atypical country singer. Her recent cover of Tool’s “The Pot” has completely taken over social media, proving that her “country-rock” label is more than just a tagline—it’s a testament to her range.
The performance has garnered over 2.2 million views on Instagram, 1.1 million on TikTok, and nearly 1 million on Facebook. Fans aren’t just watching; they’re impressed. The consensus? Most bands find it difficult to cover Tool, but Jacquie did it flawlessly. Even outlets like Spin Magazine and Classic Rock Moments in History have shared the clip, sparking a fresh conversation about her fearless approach to music.
When asked about the viral moment, Roar didn’t hold back her ambitions, jokingly (but maybe not) shouting out, “Take me on tour with you, Tool!”
A Rising Powerhouse
Serious industry accolades support Jacquie’s recent momentum. She was recently honored with the “Vocal Powerhouse” award at the 2025 Women of Country Awards, a title she earned through grit and a standout run on Season 24 of NBC’s The Voice.
During her time on The Voice, she wasn’t afraid to lean into classic rock, delivering stunning renditions of hits by Fleetwood Mac, Boston, and The Moody Blues. That versatility has paved the way for an impressive career trajectory:
- Live Shows: She recently opened for Max McNown in Portland and is set to join country hitmaker Easton Corbin on tour this summer.
- Streaming Milestones: She has already surpassed 1 million career streams, steadily climbing the charts as one of the genre’s most promising new faces.
