Summary

The story of the Band Perry remains one of the most fascinating in all of music. The sibling trio restored faith in real country music with songs like “If I Die Young” and dynamic live shows, but left fans confused when they exited their Nashville label to make pop music. Now lead singer Kimberly Perry is back with a revamped Band Perry lineup, new songs that continue to touch on her favorite subject (death!), and a long-awaited answer for those who ask what the hell happened. We welcome Kimberly into the Nashville Now cabin for one of our most revealing chats yet.   Country is Here…Nashville is Now.   Check out our Hear Now playlist on Spotify, updated weekly.
