THE BAND PERRY TO KICK OFF NORTH AMERICAN LEG OF WE ARE PIONEERS WORLD TOUR THIS THURSDAY
EASTON CORBIN AND LINDSAY ELL TO SUPPORT
January 6, 2014 – Nashville, TN –
After a short holiday break, one of the hardest working bands in music
today, THE BAND PERRY, will pick up where they left off at the end of
2013. Days into the New Year, the award-winning sibling trio will kick
off the North American leg of their first headlining tour – WE ARE
PIONEERS WORLD TOUR – this Thursday, January 9th in
Penticton, BC at the South Okanagan Events Centre and will continue well
into the spring. For their first-ever headlining arena tour, the band
will unveil a brand new production, including top-notch stage and
lighting design and a vamped up set list. The show will be bigger and
more dynamic than anything we’ve previously seen from The Band
Perry. Easton Corbin and Lindsay Ell will support.

The Band Perry wound down the European leg of the tour in
early December, and fans and critics were equally blown away by their
explosive performances. The UK’s influential Renowned For Sound
hailed, “The band masterfully blended the rock and country sounds that
they were raised upon with pinpoint precision. The band’s rock features
didn’t end with their music, but were also quite rocky in their
performance, with Kimberly, Reid and Neil all taking complete control of
the stage and whipping the audience up into an utter frenzy.” Three Chords and The Truth
went on to say, “as long as artists like The Band Perry are the leading
lights of new country then evolution need not be viewed too negatively
and the spirit in the title of the Pioneer album can continue to set the agenda” and The Music Intro declared “The Band Perry have amazing musical talent, they’re built for performing.”
The Band Perry were recently hailed in the Top Inspirational Stories of 2013 in their home state of Mississippi by the Biloxi Sun Herald,
sharing the spotlight with folks like Good Morning America’s Robin
Roberts, Sarah Thomas, who is set to be the first permanent female NFL
official, record-breaking long jumper Brittany Reese and more. They
were also named one of the hardest working acts, and only country band,
across all musical genres by Songkick.com, one of the world’s
most comprehensive databases of concerts and tours, a list they shared
with artists such as P!nk, The Lumineers, and Local Natives among
others. The superstar-sibling trio performed 126 shows to hundreds of
thousands of fans around the world in 2013, earning them the honor.

ABOUT THE BAND PERRY
The Band Perry has
ascended to dizzying heights since releasing their self-titled debut
album on Republic Nashville in 2010, which scored the sibling trio a
string of hits, including the quadruple-platinum “If I Die Young” (#1 on
Billboard’s Country and AC charts); platinum “You Lie” and gold “All
Your Life” (#1 Country). Fronted by Kimberly Perry and rounded out by
her younger brothers Neil and Reid, the band has amassed over 10.3
million tracks sold from their platinum debut and gold sophomore release
PIONEER, which debuted at #1 on the Billboard Country Albums Chart and
#2 All Genre. In addition to acclaim from top critics across the
country, PIONEER has produced two consecutive #1 Country smashes – the
platinum “Better Dig Two” and gold “DONE.,” which earned Neil and Reid
their first chart-topper as songwriters. Their current single, “Don’t
Let Me Be Lonely,” is in the Top 5 and still climbing at Country radio.
The Band Perry have also enjoyed sold-out headlining dates and recently
wound down the European leg of their first global headline dates — WE
ARE PIONEERS World Tour. In the past year, they have taken over the
American television airwaves with unforgettable performances on the ACM,
CMA, Grammy and Billboard Music Awards as well as American Idol, Good
Morning America, The Today Show, Ellen, The Talk, The Arsenio Hall Show,
The Tonight Show with Jay Leno and The Late Show with David Letterman
as well as a banner performance of “CMT Crossroads” with rockers Fall
Out Boy. Their showering of honors include multiple ACM, CMA, and CMT
Music Awards, as well as GRAMMY, Teen Choice, AMA, ACA, and Billboard
Music Award nominations — all of which has cemented the sibling trio as
one of the hottest acts in recent history. For tour dates and more,
