Reid Perry Announces Exit From the Band Perry: ‘Thank You for Every Memory’

Reid Perry, the bassist and background vocalist for The Band Perry, has announced his departure from the country music group, roughly three months after the Grammy-winning trio officially ended its hiatus by landing a new record deal.

The 36-year-old musician took to Instagram on Monday to share the news, noting that he is stepping away from the band to manage Ryan Coleman, an up-and-coming country singer who appeared on season 25 of NBC’s “The Voice,” which premiered in February 2024.

“To the fans, you’ve always been my favorite part of this. I’ve decided to leave TBP,” Reid Perry penned.

“I’ll be missing seeing you in the crowd at a Band Perry show but I’ll be around. … For me it was and will always be about making great country music, with and for the hardworking people who love it and live it. Thank you for every memory, I’ll see you back in the saddle.”

Reid Perry is the second original member to leave The Band Perry.

Reid Perry cofounded the group in the 2000s with his two siblings, Kimberly Perry and Neil Perry. The Kimberly Perry’s husband, Johnny Costello, joined the band in December 2024, stepping in as mandolin player following the departure of Neil Perry, now 35.

Reid Perry concluded his announcement by extending well wishes to his sister, writing: “I wish Kimberly and TBP the best as they move forward into the future.”

Kimberly Perry, 42, echoed his message in the comment section. “Reid! Wishing you the most wonderful successes in your new era!” she wrote. “Love you, brother!”

“Go get em Reido,” added Costello.

In 2010, The Band Perry put out its debut self-titled album, featuring the country hits “All Your Life” and “If I Die Young,” later releasing its sophomore record, “Pioneer.”

In 2016, the country group parted ways with the Nashville-based Big Machine Label Group (BMLG) to segue into pop music, debuting the electronic-infused EP “Coordinates” two years later. However, in 2023, the trio announced that they were taking a break to pursue solo projects.

The band returned to the stage in January to perform a tribute concert in Greeneville, Tennessee, to help raise funds for Hurricane Helene relief efforts.

The trio performed at the Grand Ole Opry the following month, marking their return to Nashville’s most historic music venue after more than a decade.

In July, The Band Perry revealed that they had signed a new deal with BMLG and were diving back into their country roots.

“Back into the Big Machine!” the group shared on Instagram. “To everyone who’s never left our side—who’s believed in second chances, in full circles, and in the power of coming home—this one’s for you.”
