The past year brought a lot of great things for The Band Perry professionally, which leaves them feeling like they’ve set the bar pretty high for 2015. “I can’t believe that we’re already at the end of 2014. It’s been such a page-turning year for The Band Perry,” says Kimberly. “From our ‘Chainsaw’ performance all the way down to a Grammy nomination at the end of the year.” “And our first headlining tour as well, at the end of the year,” adds Neil.
Kimberly says, “We have a lot to live up to in 2015.” One things have to look forward to is the follow up to their Pioneer album, which they are working on for release this year, while they’re version of Glen Campbell’s “Gentle on My Mind” climbs the charts.
