Merging country, pop, and rock elements into a sharp contemporary sound, the Band Perry are comprised of siblings Kimberly Perry (lead vocals, guitar, and piano), Reid Perry (bass guitar), and Neil Perry (drums, mandolin, and accordion). The band officially formed in the summer of 2005, although the siblings had been singing together at home and in various configurations and bands since their childhoods together in Mobile, AL. Kimberly, blessed with an expressive and fiery vocal style, joined and fronted her first band when she was only 15 years old, and used her brothers Reid (ten years old) and Neil (eight years old) as roadies. Eventually the two brothers formed their own band, and often worked as an opening act for their sister. All three still sang together at home, though, perfecting their three-part harmony style and writing songs on occasion. In 2005 all three finally officially joined forces as a working band and found themselves on the New Faces of Country tour that same year. In 2008 the group met Garth Brooks manager Bob Doyle, who liked what he saw and heard of the group and moved the threesome into the studio to work on songs. The recordings caught the attention of Scott Borchetta and Jimmy Harnen of the newly formed Republic Nashville label, which quickly signed the band in the summer of 2009. A debut single, “Hip to My Heart,” was issued in November of that same year, which also saw the Band Perry begin working on their debut album with producers Nathan Chapman and Paul Worley. A self-titled EP was released in May 2010.
Inheriting a cross-pollinated love of country and rock & roll from their parents,
The Band Perry - siblings Kimberly, Reid, and Neil Perry - say that they bleed the
bright red blood of American music.

The three have always felt the drive to perform and create music, sweating out the
summers in Mobile, Alabama playing in any dusty roadhouse or church that would have
them. Kimberly strapped on her first Gibson - and fronted her first high school
band - at age 15, employing Reid, then 10, and Neil, only 8, as her roadies. Changing
guitar strings and polishing cymbals for their big sister lost its charm after awhile,
so the brothers formed their own band, opening for Kimberly's band.

"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."

Even as the three worked in different bands, the siblings would spend nights at
home playing together: "I remember sitting out on our front porch singing old Hank
Williams and Bobbie Gentry songs in three-part harmony, hoping to channel the spirits
of old country through musical séance while fighting off the southern Alabama
mosquitoes," says Kimberly. "We always knew we'd take the stage together - all we
were waiting on was the right moment." That moment came in July of 2005, when -
after years of writing together - the siblings decided to join forces as one band.
The Band Perry was then invited by the Coca- Cola Bottling Company to open all of
the dates on their "New Faces Of Country" Tour that year.

In the summer of 2008, after spending a few years on the road honing their sound,
TBP met longtime Garth Brooks manager Bob Doyle. Partnering with Bob and Josh Pegram,
The Band Perry spent the fall and winter of 2008 writing in Nashville and collecting
songs for their first country recording session.

"The three of us bring different strengths into the writing room," Neil points out.
"Kimberly carries in a bag of melodies and lyrics, Reid always has some really great
musical ideas in his back pocket, and I bring in a sense of humor and some thread
that ties it all together."

The new recordings caught the ears of Scott Borchetta and Jimmy Harnen, the CEO
and President of Republic Nashville, signing to the new label in the summer of 2009.

When talking about The Band Perry, each member of the trio stresses how much family
figures into the mix: "Reid, Neil and I share genes and a musical pedigree," Kimberly
explains. "We read the same classics and cook from the same recipes. With all of
our likenesses though, I believe it's our distinctions that stir up the magic when
we create. When the three of us sit down to write songs together, we pull from all
of our individual perspectives and happenstances to create the most interesting
song concoctions."

"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."

"We've walked a long way to find your ears," Kimberly Perry finishes with a grin.
"So play us long and play us loud. The Band Perry is here, and we just have so darn
much to say."
