Our Story

I remember hearing the line "I like your lips like I like my Coca-Cola, Yeah, Oh how it pops and fizzes" on the radio, and I always wondered who sang the song. This line really struck me, I just loved the sound of the song! For some reason, I would just listen to the song on the radio but I never looked up the artist.

Sometime later, late May 2010 I was on GAC's website and the music video for "If I Die Young" had just been released. I watched it, loved the song and the video! This video was exactly like "Anne of Green Gables" and that really got my attention. Over the next few days I would hear people call up the radio station and request it, or DJs would comment on all the requests for this new, stiring song.

With finals looming I soon forgot the song. It wasn't until after school got out that I decided to look up the song and video again to show the "Anne of Green Gables song" to my family. They all loved it! We looked up the band and made the connection to "Hip To My Heart".

I decided to make a fansite for them and my twin sister Dana agreed to help. On July, 10th 2010 TheBandPerryCentral.com went live. We can't wait to see how far TBP goes and love their debut CD, and can not wait for Album #2!

So far we have had the opportunity to see The Band Perry live in concert 3 times! TBP is absolutely fantastic live, I might add. The first time, we saw them at the Festival of the River on August 15th, 2010. They were able to play almost a full set, with songs from their EP and ones not yet released. The entire crowd sang along to If I Die Young, and some sang along to Hip To My Heart. We were lucky enough to meet TBP before the show. They are some of the most down to earth people I have ever met! They came up to us, shook our hands, and introduced themselves to us. We had made a giant banner which they took the time to look at, and said it was their biggest sign yet! They also did a meet and greet line after their set, which many people stood in line for and missed the next act, as a result of that they even sold out of all of their merchandise.

The second time we saw them, they were opening up for Tim McGraw on his Emotional Traffic tour at The Gorge on June 18th, 2011. Unfortunately their set was not very long, but they still put on a great show! For the first time, it seemed like more people were singing along to You Lie than If I Die Young. Tim McGraw brought them back onstage later to sing his song Can’t Really Be Gone. Unfortunately, we did not get to talk to TBP this time around, but we waved to them and Kimberly blew us a kiss.

The third time we saw TBP was at the Oregon State Fair on September 2nd 2011 which was a show TBP was headlining. It was great to finally get to see a full set by them! It was an amazing show and they played Lasso, which was a real treat because they normally don’t play that song live. It seemed like a lot of the people there actually knew their songs, and were singing along to them. At the end, after the encore was done, we were left with still wanting more. We were able to meet TBP for the second time before the show, and they remembered us! They asked “Are you guys from that river festival?” And they said they had seen our website and loved it! Neil and Reid told us they liked our boots, and Kimberly told our friend with curly hair that she loved her hair. They actually took the time to talk to us and were very nice. We really hope we will be lucky enough to talk to them again!
