CMA Music Festival celebrates the unique relationship between Country Music artists and their fans in the heart of Music City USA. The artists participate for free, and on their behalf, CMA has donated half the net proceeds of the Festival to support music education through the Keep the Music Playing program.

To date, more than $6.1 million has been donated to purchase musical instruments and supplies, providing thousands of students in Metro Nashville Public Schools with the resources and opportunities they could not have afforded on their own, and giving many of them a strong reason to remain in school. The total also includes a $1 million endowment gift for the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum’s Words & Music program, which assists language arts and music teachers with classroom instruction in the basics of songwriting.

CMA Music Festival will once again be filmed for a national television special to air on ABC. This is the ninth consecutive year that the event has been filmed for a network television special, a feat no other music festival has achieved. CBS aired the first CMA Music Festival special in 2004, with ABC airing it from 2005 onward through 2021.

The Band Perry Receives Resolution from Mississippi State Senate,

-r: Patrick Bryant, Neil Perry, Governor Phil Bryant, First Lady Deborah Bryant, Kimberly Perry and Reid Perry at the Governor's mansion in Jackson, Mississippi.

The Band Perry made the most of a tour stop in their birth state of Mississippi over the weekend. The busy schedule included a record-breaking performance, a special stop at Kessler Air Force Base, a meeting with the Governor and of course, a little time with their Grandparents.

The group came to Keesler's Bay BreezeEvent Center to sign autographs and take pictures with the base's families prior to their concert in Biloxi, MS Saturday. (U.S. Air Force photo by Staff Sgt. Kimberly Rae Moore)

Kimberly, Reid and Neil spent Saturday afternoon with service men, women and their families at Keesler Air Force Base before heading over to perform at the 20th Annual Mississippi Coast Coliseum Crawfish Music Festival in Biloxi. Of the concert, Coliseum Assistant Executive Director Matt McDonnell told The Sun Herald that The Band Perry’s performance sold more tickets in advance than any other single act to ever play the festival.

“Both of our parents grew up in Mississippi, and we were born there. The people have just been amazing to us,” says Neil Perry.

On Sunday, the sibling trio took a rare day off to visit with relatives and savor some of their Grandmother’s home cooking in preparation for a big day at the state capital in Jackson, Mississippi. Governor Phil Bryant and The First Lady of Mississippi greeted The Band Perry at a private brunch held for the band at the Governor’s Mansion on Monday morning. Later that afternoon, the trio was presented with a resolution in the Mississippi State Senate Chamber commemorating their career success and accomplishments. The resolution was introduced by Senator Michael Watson and was passed by both the House and the Senate.

“It was such an honor for us to not only share our time in Mississippi with the Governor and First Lady but to be invited to visit with families at Keesler was definitely humbling,” says Reid Perry.

The Band Perry’s weekend of monumental events culminated Monday afternoon with a CMT Music Award nomination for Group Video of the Year.

“We are so thankful, and honestly, a little overwhelmed at all of the wonderful blessings we have received. Being invited to have brunch with the Governor and First Lady and to stand on the floor of the Senate Chamber in Mississippi and be recognized was such an honor. Then later to find out about our CMT nomination on the same day was incredible,” says Kimberly Perry.

After the Mississippi trek, The Band Perry headed to New Orleans, where they are currently shooting a music video for “Postcard From Paris,” the fifth single off of their Platinum-certified, debut album on Republic Nashville.

On April 29th, they will resume opening for Brad Paisley’s VIRTUAL REALITY WORLD TOUR and playing their own headlining dates.
