The Band Perry was well into their spirited set last night at The Ohio State University performing their smash "All Your Life" when the generators unexpectedly blew out leaving the band in darkness. That is until the crowd pulled out their cell phones and created enough light for the show to go on. (See enclosed photo). The superstar sibling trio followed up with their cover of "I Will Always Love You," and shortly thereafter light returned.
"We never know what's going to happen when we step on stage," said Kimberly Perry. "One show I'm throwing bits of my shredded dress into the audience, and another we're playing under the cell phone spotlight," says Kimberly Perry.
"We already play a cover of Queen's 'Fat Bottom Girls' in our set and after last night we may need to prepare a cover of Meat Loaf's 'Paradise by the Dashboard Light' except ours would be called 'Paradise by the Cellphone Light'" said Reid Perry.
"The OSU students definitely lit up the house in more ways than one! They were great and they were with us all the way!" says Neil Perry.
The Band Perry will perform to a sold out crowed tonight in Memphis, TN at the Memphis Botanical Garden.
