“We are excited and honored beyond belief. A GRAMMY nomination is like a gold star from the people you most look up to. As we begin our next album, this is a great vote of confidence. To both the music fans who bought our album (and told a friend!) and to the creative community that has welcomed us in; we promise not to let you down,” said KIMBERLY, NEIL and REID PERRY.
"In this environment, it takes something amazing to break through and THE BAND PERRY has done just that with some extraordinary feats, like their GRAMMY nomination and selling over one million albums! There has always been something uniquely special about their music and them as individuals. On behalf of REPUBLIC NASHVILLE, we couldn't be prouder of KIMBERLY, REID and NEIL, who accolade after accolade, continue to be dedicated and humble," REPUBLIC NASHVILLE President JIMMY HARNEN.
