The family group that consists of two brothers and one sister also scooped the award for &#8216;Top New Vocal Duo or Group&#8217; before the live ceremony began. Singer Kimberly Perry was overjoyed with the band&#8217;s success, saying, &#8220;We believe that country music is the people&#8217;s music. And it is our greatest desire to be their band&#8221;. The band released their self-titled album on 20th October 2010, which has since spawned the hit singles &#8216;Hip To My Heart&#8217;, &#8216;You Lie&#8217; and the platinum single &#8216;If I Die Young&#8217;. Band member Reid Perry recently spoke to Cmt.com about the road leading up to the Acm Awards, saying, &#8220;We don&#8217;t take this moment for granted. We&#8217;re still not totally aware of the impact that song &#8216;If I Die Young&#8217; had for us. When people come see us play &#8230; we&#8217;re still not used to that&#8221;.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nThe Band Perry were also nominated for an award at this year&#8217;s Grammy Awards but lost out to LADY ANTEBELLUM.<\/p>\n<p><!--INFOLINKS_OFF--><\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ghanamma.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/224f048eetURLCookie.asp_185.gif\" \/><\/p>\n<p>See the original post here:<br \/>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.contactmusic.com\/news.nsf\/story\/the-band-perry-surprise-winners-at-acm-awards_1211029\" title=\"THE BAND PERRY - THE BAND PERRY SURPRISE WINNERS AT ACM AWARDS\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">THE BAND PERRY &#8211;
