More than music, this band’s connection with each other is more in depth since it has something to do with bloodline. Composed of three siblings sharing one stage, the band joined forces and ushered road shows, concerts and music awards making them one of the distinct groups who has ever graced the industry.
The band is composed by Kimberly of lead vocals, guitar and piano, Reid of bass guitar and Neil on drums. What sets the band apart from its other contemporaries is the distinct sound they have that borders between country, pop and rock. At first, it was only Kimberly who was a part of the band while his two younger brothers Reid and Neil served as their roadies.
Afterwards, the two boys started doing opening acts to Kimberly’s band. The quadruple platinum trio was then formed in 2005 when they were able to secure a spot and be included on New Faces of Country Music. This gave them the exposure they need as they later on met Bob Doyle that helped them do studio recordings.
Their demo tapes attracted the attention of Scott Borchetta and Jimmy Harnen of Republic Nashville. After signing up in 2009, the band released their first single ‘Hip To My Heart.’
Their debut album was released in 2010 and became one of the biggest hits of the said year hitting the record of selling over 50,000 copies. All hail to their single ‘If I Die Young,’ that paved way to the success to their first attempt to do mainstream. The said song topped the country chart for weeks.
The band even bagged awards from The Academy of Country Music, The Country Music Association, CMT Music Awards and American Country Awards. Nominations include The American Music Awards, Billboard Music Awards and Grammy Awards for Vocal Group of the Year.
