The Band Perry
Guest Artist
The Band Perry consists of siblings Kimberly, Reid, and Neil Perry. Growing up in Mobile, Alabama they were exposed to country and rock at a young age. "Daddy rocked us to sleep with the Rolling Stones; Mama woke us up with Loretta Lynn. So we get it honest" Kimberly Perry says.
The three were creating music any chance they got performing at any local church or roadhouse that opened their doors to them. At age 15, Kimberly had her first band and she hired her younger brothers, Reid and Neil, to be her roadies. The two brothers eventually created their own band opening for Kimberly.
"My bass and I've been attached at the hip since I was 10 years old," says Reid. "While most of my friends were playing little league, I was sitting in my room learning Rolling Stones' and Beatles' bass lines. It's really all I've ever known."
As siblings they always knew they would make their own band one day. Having each other's backs and only hoping for the best for one another they joined as one in 2005. They were invited to open for all of the dates of the Coca-Cola Bottling Company "New Faces of Country" Tour. Their talent was apparent and in August 2009 Republic Nashville signed them to a new label. In the same month they released their hit single "Hip to My Heart" which made it to the top 20 on the U.S. Billboard Hot Country Songs chart.
"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."
"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," Reid says. "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."
