The Band Perry are a sibling trio from Tennessee: Kimberly Perry sings lead and writes most of their material, with brothers Neil on bass and Reid on drums. They broke through in 2010 with 'If I Die Young,' a song Kimberly wrote that became a country radio staple and won the CMA Song of the Year award in 2011. That track, along with others like 'Better Dig Two' and 'Done,' anchored their self-titled debut album.
They followed up with 'Pioneer' in 2013, working with producer Rick Rubin, and later released 'Heart + Beat' in 2017. In 2014, Kimberly's autoimmune condition, Sjogren's syndrome, led to some canceled tour dates. A couple years later, the band apologized after a Confederate flag was displayed at one of their concert venues.
Their sound leans toward country with pop touches, built around Kimberly's clear voice and the brothers' harmonies. Songs like 'All Your Life' and 'Comeback Kid' kept them on country charts through the 2010s.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
