The Band Perry - 2011 ACM & CMA New Artist of the Year - performing at Kewadin in October

Sault Ste. Marie, MI - The Band Perry, reigning 2011 ACM New Artist of the Year and the CMA New Artist of the Year, will perform at Kewadin Casinos DreamMakers Theater on Thursday October 25.  Tickets for the show go on sale Monday July 2 at 8 a.m. and are $58.50.

The Band Perry’s "modern throwback" style combines classic Country with an eclectic infusion of Rock, Gospel and Soul. As songwriters and musicians, their sound is rounded out by perfect three-part harmonies. The self-titled debut album, “THE BAND PERRY”, was released in October 2010 and one year later, has been certified Platinum.

They currently count a 2012 Grammy Best New Artist nomination and a 2012 ACM Vocal Group of the Year nomination among their list of honors. They earned the 2011 CMA Award for Single of the Year while Kimberly Perry was honored with the 2011 CMA Song of the Year award. Other honors include the 2011 CMT Music Award for Breakthrough Video of the Year, the "Best New Live Act" Award sponsored by Nationwide Insurance, and another CMT nomination for ‘Group Video of the Year’ as well as TEEN CHOICE, AMA, and ACA award nominations.

Since celebrating a two-week #1 with their Gold-certified single, “All Your Life,” and a Platinum debut album earlier this year, the excitement continues for The Band Perry. The RIAA has certified their #1 smash, “If I Die Young” Quadruple Platinum, for sales exceeding 4 million. The breakout hit is the only single from a debut album in the last 18 months to achieve this status and has sold more copies than any other Country artist in the same timeframe. The band’s single “You Lie” has also been certified gold and their latest single “Postcard From Paris” promises to be their next big hit.

Currently, The Band Perry is writing and recording their sophomore album, due out later this year.

Tickets to the October show are $58.50 and can be purchased at the casino’s box office, Facebook page, by calling 800-KEWADIN or online at www.kewadin.com.  For information on the band, visit www.thebandperry.com.
