The 2015 CMA Awards nominations have been announced and it comes with no surprise that country superstar sibling trio, The Band Perry, have been nominated for a 2015 CMA Award for “Vocal Group of The Year”. The nomination marks the group’s sixth consecutive year to receive a nomination.
The 49th Annual CMA Awards will be hosted for the eighth time by Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood and broadcast live from the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Wednesday, Nov. 4 (8:00-11:00 PM|ET) on the ABC Television Network
The Band Perry recently released their roaring new anthem “Live Forever” on Friday, August 14th. The track, produced by RedOne and Dann Huff, is the first taste of new music from The Band Perry’s forthcoming album due for release later this fall by Big Machine Label Group. “Live Forever” is available for purchase at all digital retailers.
The Band Perry performed “Live Forever” for the first time on national television, as well as some other fan favorites on Friday, August 14th when they make their first-ever appearance at Central Park’s famed Summer Stage in Rumsey Playfield as part of Good Morning America’s Summer Concert Series.
The music video for “Live Forever” made its world broadcast premiere on CMT’s Hot 20 Countdown, CMT Artists App and CMT.com. The clip was directed by Collin Tilley and features both narrative and performance by the all-American band in a new and unique performance space called “THE CUBE”.
The band learned of their nomination as they boarded a plane to Europe to participate in “Celebrity Fight Night in Italy,” a seven-day experience hosted by legendary tenor Andrea Bocelli. Celebrity Fight Night is an annual event held in both Phoenix and Tuscany benefitting multiple charities including Bocelli’s foundation and the Muhammad Ali Parkinson Center at Barrow Neurological Institute in Phoenix.
The event will also feature guests Reba McEntire, Tony Bennett, David Foster, Sharon Stone, Zubin Mehta, and Ronnie Dunn. From the airport they responded to the news…
We were so thrilled to hear about our CMA nomination and are grateful to be recognized by our musical peers. It’s hard to believe it will be our 6th trip to the CMA Awards! We are honored to be representing country music across the globe, and we will be sure to toast the Country Music Association and our fellow nominees from Tuscany!”
With their recent honors including being named ambassadors for Teen Cancer America (a charity founded by The Who’s Roger Daltrey), The Band Perry are currently gearing up for the release of their third studio album due out for release later this year by Big Machine Label Group.
The band’s anthemic new single “Live Forever” and its accompanying music video are out now.
