totally understand our band, you have to see us live. It’s the three of
us in our element, our living room, our therapy session, our recess. We
can’t wait to bring WE ARE PIONEERS to the world,” says Kimberly Perry.

“Marching
forward and making noise together. That’s what a Band Perry show is all
about. There are these moments that we’ve built into the show when the
three of us and our band are like an army or a marching band. Us, our
band, and the crowd – it’s like we’re a team, and we’re all in it
together. We are very fortunate that we get to walk on stage and do
what we love to do – and it’s our fans that have given us that
opportunity. We sincerely appreciate each and every one of them, and we
are looking forward to meeting new people across the world and making
The Fans Perry a global community,” says Reid Perry.

ABOUT LINDSAY ELL:
Originally from Calgary, Alberta, Lindsay Ell started playing piano at
6, guitar at 8 and singing in her church youth group at 10 (“the most
forgiving audience ever”). She was discovered at 13 by fellow Canadian
Randy Bachman of BTO and The Guess Who (“American Woman,” “Takin’ Care
Of Business”). “Randy learned guitar from master jazz
guitarist Lenny Breau, so I dove head-first into this world of blues,
jazz and rock guitar – learning all these different solos, switching
radio stations and trying to get an idea of where all those techniques
come from. I was listening to Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Clapton,
Derek Trucks and all those incredible guitar players.” Lindsay’s
passion and study served her well, leading to several unique
opportunities including an opening slot with blues icon Buddy Guy. Her
first songwriting trip to Nashville was the catalyst that brought her
early affinity for country full-circle. Because it is rare, she knows
her six-string prowess could be overshadowing. “There aren’t a lot of
girls who play electric lead guitar, and it can be a defining thing,”
she says. “Any day I don’t play guitar is not a good day, but it isn’t
the only thing. And it’s certainly not shtick. First and foremost, I
want people to hear me and understand my voice as a country music
recording artist. When they come see me, I’d love it if they’re
impressed at my guitar and piano playing. But by that point, hopefully
they understand the artist behind it all has a lot of different sides to
her music.” Lindsay’s debut single from Stoney Creek Records is due
this fall.
