After going on hiatus in 2023 to pursue solo projects, the Grammy-winning trio The Band Perry has officially returned to the stage—and their country music roots.
On Thursday, the band announced that they had landed a new record deal with the Nashville-based Big Machine Label Group (BMLG), where they first launched their career.
“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.”
The Band Perry, which now consists of siblings Kimberly and Reid Perry and the former’s husband, Johnny Costello, signed with BMLG’s label Nashville Harbor Records & Entertainment, which represents an array of country artists, including Florida Georgia Line, Riley Green, and Noah Hicks.
Costello joined the band in December 2024, stepping in for mandolin and guitar player Neil Perry—Kimberly and Reid Perry’s brother—while he continues to pursue his solo endeavors.
The Band Perry inked their first record deal in 2009 with Republic Nashville. BMLG co-founded the label with Universal Republic Records earlier that year, later gaining full ownership in 2015. BMLG renamed the company BMLG Records before rebranding the imprint in early 2024 to its current moniker, Nashville Harbor Records & Entertainment.
“Coming back home to our Big Machine / Nashville Harbor family feels like a beautiful full-circle moment for us,” Kimberly Perry, the group’s lead vocalist, said in a statement.
“To bring the foundation of everything we’ve built together into a new season of creativity means the world. This reunion feels like a second chance, a deeper chapter, and we’re just so grateful to be writing it with the family who believed in us first.”
In 2010, The Band Perry released its debut self-titled album, which featured the country hits “If I Die Young” and “All Your Life.” The trio’s sophomore album, “Pioneer,” followed in 2013.
Three years later, they parted ways with BMLG to segue into pop, releasing the electronic-infused EP “Coordinates” in 2018.
The trio announced their return in December 2024, emerging from their creative break to perform a tribute concert in Tennessee the following month to raise funds for Hurricane Helene relief efforts.
Earlier this year, the band performed at the Grand Ole Opry, more than a decade after making their debut on Nashville’s most historic stage.
“What an HONOR to step into the circle once again,” the group shared on Instagram on Feb. 15. “Thank you to the @opry and our dear friends @thewarandtreaty for having us. It was an unforgettable Valentine’s night. God bless Country music.”
