There are few things more exciting than finding a great new music act. The last few weeks I have warmed more and more to country trio The Band Perry and it's about time I introduce them.
When Kimberly was invited to join the 'New Faces of Country Tour' in 2005 both she and her brothers were without bands. They decided to join forces on the tour and The Band Perry was born. They played countless shows, developing their music together, and caught the attention of Scott Borchetta of Big machine Records and Jimmy Harnen, President of Republic Nashville. Earlier this year the band signed with Republic Nashville, which is co-owned by Big Machine and Universal Republic.
Inevitably, the family bond is a big part of The Band Perry:“There’s a tightness between the three of us that goes way beyond even best friends,” Neil adds. “Family vocal harmonies can’t be fabricated. And, besides - the three of us know that through the thick and thin of life and the music business, we’re watching after each other." Reid adds: “Blood runs thick. The music business can be hard, but the three of us are committed not only to our lives in music, but to living them together. I think the security of knowing that about each other allows us to be uninhibited when we create. It’s a democracy. It’s a safe haven.”
The Band Perry's debut single, 'Hip to my Heart' is at radio now and though at first listen it seems like just a cute song about young love, it already showcases the band's musical talents and Kimberly's stellar vocals.
