“We
were so excited to hear about our Grammy nomination, but to receive one
for a song we feel so passionately about is thrilling beyond words,”
said The Band Perry. “Glen Campbell is one of our heroes, and we feel
so privileged to have been asked to record this iconic song of his and
to be a part of this project to raise awareness for Alzheimer’s in his
honor.”
One
of the most dynamic acts in music today, The Band Perry has both
achieved massive mainstream success and gained major critical acclaim
since delivering their platinum self-titled debut. Introducing the
sibling trio as a powerful new force on the country scene, 2010’s The
Band Perry offered up five hit singles, including the quintuple-platinum
chart-topper “If I Die Young” and other platinum hits – the #1 “All
Your Life” and “You Lie” – as well as “Hip to My Heart” and “Postcard
from Paris.” For the band’s gold-certified second album Pioneer,
frontwoman Kimberly Perry and her younger brothers Reid and Neil delved
deeper into an edgy, rock-and-roll-inspired sound while staying true to
their Southern roots. Featuring the platinum #1 single “Better Dig Two”
and the gold #1 “DONE.” (plus smash hits “Don’t Let Me Be Lonely” and
“Chainsaw”), Pioneer found The Band Perry widening their appeal and
continuing to showcase their breathtaking three-part harmonies.
In
recent years, The Band Perry has earned multiple awards from the likes
of The Academy of Country Music, The Country Music Association, CMT
Music Awards, and The American Country Awards. They have also received
nominations from The American Music Awards, The Billboard Music Awards,
and the Grammy Awards. Named Vocal Group of the Year by the ACM in 2014,
the group also kicked off the WE ARE PIONEERS WORLD TOUR in late 2013
and quickly established themselves as a global powerhouse. Their latest
single, a spirited rendition of Glen Campbell’s “Gentle on My Mind” also
appears on the soundtrack for I’ll Be Me, a documentary about the
country music legend. The band is currently at work on new music for
their upcoming third album.
