THE BAND PERRY TO KICK OFF NORTH AMERICAN LEG OF WE ARE PIONEERS WORLD TOUR THIS THURSDAY EASTON CORBIN AND LINDSAY ELL  TO SUPPORT

January 6, 2014 - Nashville, TN - After a short holiday break, one of the hardest working bands in music today, THE BAND PERRY, will pick up where they left off at the end of 2013.  Days into the New Year, the award-winning sibling trio will kick off the North American leg of their first headlining tour - WE ARE PIONEERS WORLD TOUR - this Thursday, January 9th in Penticton, BC at the South Okanagan Events Centre and will continue well into the spring. For their first-ever headlining arena tour, the band will unveil a brand new production, including top-notch stage and lighting design and a vamped up set list. The show will be bigger and more dynamic than anything we've previously seen from The Band Perry. Easton Corbin and Lindsay Ell will support. The Band Perry wound down the European leg of the tour in early December, and fans and critics were equally blown away by their explosive performances. The UK's influential Renowned For Soundhailed, "The band masterfully blended the rock and country sounds that they were raised upon with pinpoint precision. The band's rock features didn't end with their music, but were also quite rocky in their performance, with Kimberly, Reid and Neil all taking complete control of the stage and whipping the audience up into an utter frenzy." Three Chords and The Truth went on to say, "as long as artists like The Band Perry are the leading lights of new country then evolution need not be viewed too negatively and the spirit in the title of the Pioneer album can continue to set the agenda" and The Music Intro declared "The Band Perry have amazing musical talent, they're built for performing." The Band Perry were recently hailed in the Top Inspirational Stories of 2013 in their home state of Mississippi by the Biloxi Sun Herald, sharing the spotlight with folks like Good Morning America's Robin Roberts, Sarah Thomas, who is set to be the first permanent female NFL official, record-breaking long jumper Brittany Reese and more.  They were also named one of the hardest working acts, and only country band, across all musical genres by Songkick.com, one of the world's most comprehensive databases of concerts and tours, a list they shared with artists such as P!nk, The Lumineers, and Local Natives among others.  The superstar-sibling trio performed 126 shows to hundreds of thousands of fans around the world in 2013, earning them the honor.  Come see why publications such as Billboard Biz, Country Weekly, Taste Of Country, Amazon,SPIN, Village Voice and more added The Band Perry to their best of 2013 year end lists.  Full list of tour dates can be found below.

I was listening to Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Clapton, Derek Trucks and all those incredible guitar players."  Lindsay's passion and study served her well, leading to several unique opportunities including an opening slot with blues icon Buddy Guy.  Her first songwriting trip to Nashville was the catalyst that brought her early affinity for country full-circle.  Because it is rare, she knows her six-string prowess could be overshadowing. "There aren't a lot of girls who play electric lead guitar, and it can be a defining thing," she says. "Any day I don't play guitar is not a good day, but it isn't the only thing. And it's certainly not shtick. First and foremost, I want people to hear me and understand my voice as a country music recording artist. When they come see me, I'd love it if they're impressed at my guitar and piano playing. But by that point, hopefully they understand the artist behind it all has a lot of different sides to her music."  Lindsay's debut single from Stoney Creek Records is due this fall.

RECORD-BREAKING TICKET SALES INSPIRE EMI RECORDS NASHVILLE’S ERIC CHURCH TO ANNOUNCE SECOND LEG OF 2012 HEADLINING TOUR: 

THE BLOOD, SWEAT & BEERS TOUR

"Drink In My Hand" Marks Church's First-Ever Top 5 and Climbing Single on Country Billboard Charts

 

Nashville, Tenn– Few albums demanded attention in 2011 like Eric Church’s CHIEF, and subsequently ticket sales for his headlining tour are smoldering with the plea. Having broken Jason Aldean's record for the highest number of tickets ever sold for a live event at the Landers Center in Southaven, MS, and experiencing near sell-outs in additional markets, Church will now bring his “delightfully overemphatic outlaw aspirations and snarling power chords,” as SPIN describes them, to fans in Atlantic City, New York City, Orlando, Nashville, Minneapolis and more,  (full list below). Meanwhile, the Best Country Album of the Year 2012 GRAMMY nominee is celebrating  his first-ever top five and climbing single on the Country Billboard charts, "Drink In My Hand."

Due to overwhelming demand, Church will now headline several coveted venues including Nashville's Bridgestone Arena and the Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Morrison, CO for the first time in his career. “Every good artist reaches a watershed moment and Eric Church has arrived at his with CHIEF,” wrote The Boston Globe; and there’s no challenging their prediction now as Church garnered placement on numerous “Best Of” lists for 2011.

The torch-bearing project was named No. 1 on Rob Harvilla’s SPIN List of the 20 Best Country & Americana Albums of 2011. Moreover, it was one of NPR’s Top 50 Albums of the Year," No. 19 on Rolling Stone's “50 Best Albums of 2011," No. 9 on Amazon’s “ Best Country Albums of 2011,” and named one of "The most memorable music moments of 2011: Best use of falsetto in a country song" by Los Angeles Times, among others.

Tickets for upcoming dates are on-sale now and fans also have the option to purchase a special “VIP Package” where they’ll be treated to an exclusive VIP pre-concert party and intimate acoustic performance from Church backstage. For more information and to purchase, visit www.ericchurch.com.
