The Band Perry and Thompson Square concert

Winona State University's Spring concert hasn't been sold out in 10 years until March 25, 2011 when The Band Perry and Thompson Square performed. Three thousand tickets went quickly. "Concert sold out" signs were posted at the Will Call window. Three sets of security personnel (WSU security, Winona Police, and RTM Security out of Milwaukee) roamed the showroom and hallways. The night started with a local band that was less than desirable but it did manage to get the crowd pumped up. Either that or concert goers were just thrilled that the worst was over and it was on to bigger and MUCH better things. Thompson Square, husband and wife duo, were fabulous and could've easily been the headliner for the evening. The Band Perry, brothers and sister group, did not disappoint either. Kimberly Perry, lead singer, joked about not being married, not dating, but rather brothers and sister. She also told the crowd about their not so famous father, Steve Perry (not the one from Journey). The concert goers loved every word whether spoken or sung. All-in-all it was a fantastic night for country music fans. Pictures
