Sept 13, 2010 (NASHVILLE, TN) - The Band Perry - siblings Kimberly, Neil and Reid Perry - will be an opening act for legendary country artist Alan Jackson when he embarks on tour this November. TBP - whose self-titled debut album, THE BAND PERRY, will be released on October 12 - will perform before rising country star Chris Young on the highly-anticipated tour.
“We’re absolutely thrilled to be part of Alan Jackson’s tour – what an honor!” said Kimberly Perry. “Alan’s work is so much a part of today’s country music – you see his influence all over the charts. This is an amazing opportunity . . . we plan on making Alan proud!”
The trio‘s current single, “If I Die Young,” is Top Twenty and climbing on the Billboard and Mediabase Country singles charts. Penned by Kimberly Perry and developed with her brothers, “If I Die Young” has become one of the summer’s most talked-about songs in Country music, with download sales now exceeding 40,000 copies per week. “If I Die Young” is The Band Perry’s second single for Republic Nashville; TBP’s debut single, “Hip To My Heart,” was also a Top Twenty hit. Both singles are on the band’s five-song EP, which has sold briskly online all summer.
