The Band Perry
GAC is set to air an original special with The Band Perry titled Origins: The Band Perry. During the special, the trio will share performances and the stories behind “Done” and “Mother Like Mine” from their recently-released Pioneer album. They will also perform “You Lie” and “If I Die Young” from their debut, self-titled release.
In the special, sibling trio Kimberly, Reid and Neil Perry return home to the quiet lifestyle they’ve created in Greeneville, Tenn., a farming and manufacturing community in the foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains.
“Our parents always told us that you’re not going to be in the band just because your last name is Perry,” said Reid. “You’re going to earn your spot in the band.”
Parents, Steve and Marie Perry, also appear in the GAC highlight. “His knowledge about the [music] business is amazing,” says Kimberly of her pediatrician father. “We call our mother our coach and teacher,” adds Neil. “If you see her when we perform a live show, you’ll see her writing notes.”
Catch the special debut this Saturday, May 11 at 10 p.m. ET.
