It has always been our dream to play Country music,” says the band. “We’ve been on the road as a family band for thirteen years and experienced the intimacy of theaters, the energy of county fairs and the joy of connecting with new faces as we support these amazing artists at arenas and amphitheaters. Artists like Tim McGraw, Keith Urban and Reba were the ones who originally inspired us to dream big…now they have helped our dreams come true.
Harrington, Del. — The three siblings in the Band Perry like to brag about how their mom used to play them Loretta Lynn records but that dad was into the Stones. They have a thing for the “the romantic” and “the grotesque.” They like steampunk. They love Faulkner. They think “Lemony Snicket’s a Series of Unfortunate Events” was totally underrated.
The sibling trio's 75-date trek, dubbed the Purveyors of Performance Tour, includes headlining shows, as well as support dates with Keith Urban and Reba McEntire, and soon-to-be-announced dates with "one of country music's major touring forces," according to a statement released by the band.
Sing it with us Nashville!” Perry shouted, and hundreds of thousands of country fans sang along in unison. The singalong quickly turned to screams, however, when the Mississippi Perrys drifted from their 2010 single into their 2011 hit, ‘You Lie.’ From there, it was no holds barred.The Band Perry, an American country music group, is composed of siblings Kimberly Perry (lead vocals, guitar, piano), Reid Perry (bass guitar, background vocals) and Neil Perry (mandolin, drums, accordion, background vocals). The group signed to Republic Nashville in August 2009 and has released three singles:
We really wrote 'If I Die Young' out of contentment--and believe it or not, it's truly a song more about life than death," said Kimberly Perry. "I think it really focuses on the lives in the years as opposed to the years in the lives."
The group is currently finishing up with Tim McGraw’s Emotional Traffic tour before they embark on Purveyors of Performance.
They were recently honored with two nominations at the Teen Choice Awards, and have more exciting events to come in the rest of August! They will be performing Sunday, August 14th on CMA Music Festival: Country’s Night To Rock in addition to being featured on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on August 17th.
