The Band Perry is a Grammy, CMA and ACM award-winning trio known for their genre-defying sound and bold artistic reinvention. Since bursting onto the scene with their 9x platinum smash hit “If I Die Young,” the Perry siblings have captivated audiences worldwide. Composed of Kimberly Perry, Reid Perry and Johnny Costello, the band’s 2025 return marks the end of hiatus and the start of a new artistic era.
Spanning a decade-plus of music and two albums, The Band Perry has sold 2.5 million albums, 12 million singles and racked up over 1 billion streams. Their success story continues to grow both domestically and globally, a talent powerhouse touting sold-out world tours, six No. 1 singles, multiple RIAA Platinum and Gold certifications, and pioneering chart success.
Their Appalachian gothic sound is amplified by heartfelt, original storytelling, dynamic musicianship and high-energy performance. Known for pushing creative boundaries while staying rooted in Southern tradition, the trio continues to evolve – both artistically and as individuals.
