The Band Perry pioneers world tour

Friday, August 16, 2013 – The Band Perry today announced the We Are Pioneers World Tour, the trio's first worldwide headline arena tour in support of "Pioneer."

The tour kicks off in Gothenburg, Sweden on Nov. 8 and crisscross Europe for five weeks before the band jumps back for dates in Canada and the U.S. from January 2014 until mid-March.

"We live to play," said lead singer Kimberly Perry. "In our minds, everything we do - writing, recording, interviews, appearances - is the means to the live end. To fully and 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."

Throughout the tour, The Band Perry will debut an entirely new show, including a new set, sound and light.

On the run of European dates, various local acts will be in the support slot on the tour, and starting on Jan. 9, Easton Corbin and Lindsay Ell will join The Band Perry on the North American date.

"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," said Reid Perry.

"We believe pioneers are everywhere. Big and small, young and old, on North-American shores and abroad - we are coming to find you," said Neil Perry.

CD reviews for The Band Perry

CD review - Pioneer Sports fans may be familiar with the term "sophomore slump," where a player has an excellent rookie season, but then struggles mightily in his second. With "Pioneer," The Band Perry demonstrates that the phrase can carry over to the music world as well. Where the group's debut was quirky and showed real potential, their second release takes some artistic steps backwards while developing a more mainstream sound. The lead single and opening track, Better Dig Two, also ...
CD review - The Band Perry (full length CD) Image-wise, the siblings of The Band Perry are aiming squarely at the youth market. Sister and lead singer Kimberly has a Taylor Swift thing going on, with big curly blonde hair, while brothers Neil and Reid could be Jonases as easily as Perrys. Their musical style trends young, as well. There's an element of bluegrass in the music, but it's often more of a grace note on top of the pop-rock guitars and drums that remain the focus of the album. Lyrically, the songs also offer a ...
The Band Perry gets its name from the fact that all three of its members are siblings. There's Kimberly Perry, who sings lead, in addition to playing piano and guitar. Her brother Reid Perry is the bassist, while Neil Perry plays drums, mandolin and accordion. The centerpiece song of this five-track EP is the single If I Die Young, which is made all the more striking by the fact that it's also sung by a young lady. Being young is usually no time to contemplate death - leave that to the old folks. ...
