The Band Perry took home their first Grammy®Award for the Best Country Duo/Group Performance. The trio was honored for their rendition of the Glen Campbell classic, “Gentle on My Mind,” a song they actually performed on the Grammy stage three years ago with Campbell as part of a tribute to the legendary artist. The trio was then asked to record the song for the James Keach directed documentary Glen Campbell: I’ll Be Me.
“Winning a Grammy Award® is not only an honor but it’s completely life changing,” said The Band Perry. “It has come full circle since we played this song on the Grammy Awards® three years ago with Glen Campbell, and if you would have told us then that we would record his song and win an award for it we wouldn’t have believed it. We want to send a big thanks to everyone that has helped us along the way including our incredible fans.”
There was no resting for the reigning ACM Vocal Group of the Year who made appearances at the Billboard Power 100 party as curators for the third annual GRAMMY Amplifier® Program and the 2015 MusiCares Person of the Year event before they flew to Texas to play a concert at the Rodeo Austin Gala. They returned to Los Angeles Sunday just in time for the Grammy Awards® Ceremony.

ABOUT THE BAND PERRY
One of the most dynamic acts in music today, The Band Perry has both achieved massive mainstream success and gained major critical acclaim since delivering their platinum self-titled debut. Introducing the sibling trio as a powerful new force on the country scene, 2010’s The Band Perry offered up five hit singles, including the quintuple-platinum chart-topper “If I Die Young” and other platinum hits – the #1 “All Your Life” and “You Lie” – as well as “Hip to My Heart” and the gold-certified single “Postcard from Paris.” For the band’s gold-certified second album Pioneer, frontwoman Kimberly Perry and her younger brothers Reid and Neil delved deeper into an edgy, rock-and-roll-inspired sound while staying true to their Southern roots. Featuring the platinum #1 single “Better Dig Two” and the gold #1 “DONE.” (plus smash hits “Don’t Let Me Be Lonely” and “Chainsaw”), Pioneer found The Band Perry widening their appeal and continuing to showcase their breathtaking three-part harmonies. The group kicked off their first headline tour – the WE ARE PIONEERS WORLD TOUR – in late 2013 and quickly established themselves as a global powerhouse, playing hundreds of venues from Seattle to Sweden.
The Band Perry have earned multiple awards from the likes of the Grammy Awards®, The Academy of Country Music, The Country Music Association, CMT Music Awards, and The American Country Awards, and have received multiple nominations from the American Music Awards, Billboard Music Awards, People’s Choice Awards, Teen Choice Awards and The American Country Countdown Awards.
