The version of The Band Perry that most people carry around in their heads is the sibling trio — Kimberly, Neil, and Reid Perry, stacking harmonies until “If I Die Young” went 9x Platinum and a generation of country fans memorized every line. That band had a good run. The one arriving at The Haven of the Wild in Chittenango this August is something else: a duo now, leaning harder into banjos and mandolins, calling what they’re doing “Appalachian gothic,” and touring behind a song that put them back on the Billboard Country Airplay chart for the first time in ten years.
About the Show
The Band Perry’s return is built around Kimberly Perry and her husband Johnny Costello, who brings mandolin and harmonies to what the band describes as a “genre-defying” sound rooted in Southern tradition. After the original trio went quiet in 2023, a 2025 charity-concert reunion led to a comeback announcement before Reid departed, leaving Kimberly and Costello to step into what they’re calling “Season 2.” The vehicle for that transition is “Psychological,” released on Valentine’s Day 2026 and produced by Dan Huff, who also worked the band’s Pioneer album. Written around a hook that splits the word into “psycho” and “logical,” the track moves toward something more atmospheric and emotionally layered than the group’s earlier country-pop sound, which Kimberly has described as “a crossroads of two eras coming together” with the band’s “tongue-in-cheek, southern-gothic vibe” still intact. It debuted at #43 on Billboard Country Airplay — their first charting single since “Comeback Kid” in 2016. A full album is targeted for fall 2026 on Nashville Harbor Records / Big Machine Label Group. The Chittenango show is part of the Psycho Rodeo Tour, a run this Grammy, CMA, and ACM Award-winning group launched in February 2026 that has since extended through the summer of 2027. No support acts are listed for this date.
Venue & Logistics
The Haven of the Wild is an outdoor event venue on New Boston Road in Chittenango, one of the more unusual stops on central New York’s country circuit. The grounds feature an African savanna atmosphere with live zebras and giraffes, a setting that shifts the frame for what it means to hear country music under open sky. Overnight accommodations run from African-style tents with giraffe views to big cat bungalows where guests have been known to hear a tiger before they fall asleep. For a tour called the Psycho Rodeo, the address practically writes itself. Doors open at 5:30 p.m.
