The Band Perry is pretty comfortable on stage no matter what the setting, but they admit there are usually a few more butterflies associated with live television performances than live stage shows. Reid admits, “We get kind of nervous. Not really nervous, just kind of jitters whenever we play TV.”
Kimberly makes no bones about it. She says, “I get nervous. It’s super high pressure.”
Playing their nightly stage shows is almost second nature to The Band Perry. Reid says, “Playing on stage, doin’ a show, we say it’s more fun than recess, because it’s what we’ve always done. Before we were doing interviews or writing songs we were playing live on stage. So, that is literally, when we get on stage and just enjoy the ride.”
The Band Perry is finishing up Heart + Beat, the follow-up to their Pioneer album, which they’ll release later this year.
