One of my favorite bands, The Band Perry, just hit a milestone (something this trio had better get used to). Their latest hit single, “You Lie,” has now earned Gold certification from the RIAA for sales exceeding 500,000.
“You Lie” was written by The Henningsens (comprised of a dad, his daughter, and his son): Aaron (dad), Brian and Clara Henningsen.
“You Lie’ is full of spitfire and it’s our high-five to everyone who’s been the victim of a cheatin’ heart,” explained The Band Perry. “Only in Country music could a song about feeling fed-up be so much fun to sing. When we perform this one, we get a big ‘amen!’ back and we thank everyone who has joined in.”
This Henningsen family is from Illinois, but their talent has landed them in the country music mecca, Nashville.
They’ve written other songs for The Band Perry and penned “Alone” which was recorded by Sara Evans. If they’re anywhere near as good as “You Lie,” this family will soon be household names.
The song below, “Moonbeams,” was written by The Band Perry and The Henningsens. It’s performed by The Henningsens, and as you can tell – this is a group with big things ahead. Love Clara Henningsen’s voice.
