Were you enchanted by The Band Perry's unforgettable melodies? Get ready to be captivated once again!
The Poke Sallet Festival is thrilled to announce our headlining talent for June 1st in downtown Harlan is Kimberly Perry!
As one-third of the Grammy® Award-winning superstar sibling trio The Band Perry, Kimberly Perry has racked up sales of over two and a half million albums, thirteen million singles, and over 2 billion combined streams. As a songwriter, her groundbreaking crossover #1 single "If I Die Young" (with its current 9x platinum status and over 200 million video views) helped Kimberly burst on to the world stage.
As an entertainer, she's performed on TV's biggest shows, from late night's most influential (The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel Live, The Late Late Show With James Corden, The Late Show with David Letterman) to daytime's most popular (Ellen, Good Morning America, The Today Show), as well as performing and presenting on multiple CMA and ACM award shows and specials.
After touring the globe and playing on some of its biggest stages, her first love is songwriting and it remains the force that drives her today. After inking a global publishing deal with Warner Chappell and Songs & Daughters, Perry released "Bloom" her first EP as a solo artist and is gearing up to embark on this new chapter.
Join us at the Poke Sallet Festival for an unforgettable evening with Kimberly Perry, as she embarks on this new journey with us. Let's celebrate her incredible music, from her roots with The Band Perry to her blossoming solo career!
