the largest in recorded history in the East Tennessee town. The Band
Perry is among the pioneers putting this quaint town on the map and they
were aptly recognized with a Proclamation honoring them, signed by

“We are so humbled by the show of support
from our hometown, as well as our fans that traveled so many miles –
and our neighbors just down the street – to see the show! We had a great
time signing CDs for everyone who braved the crisp night air waiting to
meet us and say hello. And to have Governor Haslam recognize us as we
came home, what an incredible honor,” says Neil Perry.

“To know where you are going, you have to
know where you’ve been. We love small towns and embrace the nurturing
they provide. We will be the first to tell you that great things come
from humble beginnings. You don’t have to think small just because you
are from a small town and we want everyone to know that. We had a great
time performing for our friends in Greeneville this past weekend,” says
Kimberly Perry.
