Kimberley Perry gets engaged

Tuesday, October 1, 2013 – Kimberley Perry the lead singer of The Band Perry, is getting hitched.

Perry is engaged to Toronto Blue Jays catcher J.C. Arencibia.

Arencibia went to the 15-acre spread of Perry's family in Greeneville, Tenn. and popped the question.

Arencibia met Perry backstage after a concert in February 2012 at the Florida Strawberry Festival in Plant City, Fla., and they began dating soon after.

Perry's family moved to Greeneville with a large oak tree when she was a teenager.

The Tennessean said that Perry hoped from the first time she saw the tree that "if I get proposed to in this life, I hope it happens underneath this tree."

The newspaper said that Perry thought her family was gathering to dinner, but when they called her to come outside, Arencibia was standing under the oak tree.

"I saw that and I thought, 'This is really happening,' " she said.

Perry's mother told her to go back to the house to put on her favorite pink dress. Perry had said she wanted to wear that dress if she were to get engaged.

"When Perry got to the room she found her dress, a letter from her family and a bracelet that her grandfather and given her grandmother "way back in the day" when they started dating," The story said.

"I got to read the letter and get dressed and put on my grandfather's bracelet," she said. "I came back out on the front porch, and he was standing there and he got down on one knee. It was perfect."

Arencibia, a Florida native, attended the University of Tennessee and lives in Nashville in the off-season.

The two are planning to get married next summer, the article said.

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. ...
