The ability to forge new song-writing territory that creates a remarkable interest in the gospel music community, exciting a new generation of listeners, as well as satisfying a core audience that has helped mold a very successful ministry is a challenge to be taken seriously. This challenge has been accepted by a talented group of individuals who have helped pave the gospel music way. The Perry Sisters have committed their hearts to the musical ministry of Jesus Christ, and have seen hundreds of thousands of people come to know our Savior.

The Perry Sisters originated in Huntington, WV in 1974 with Diana Perry Gillette and her two sisters, Bonnie and Carol. In 1984 they signed with a major record label and officially became the first professional ladies trio in southern gospel music. In 1990 Diana's sisters retired from the road, leaving Diana as the remaining founding member.

The group has reorganized with Diana Perry Gillette in the lead position. Diana has one of the most recognizable voices in gospel music today, and is one of the best songwriters in the southern gospel industry.

Tammy Underwood, Diana's niece, holds the soprano position and plays acoustic guitar. Tammy has a signature sound with dynamic tones and range. Tammy and her sister, Tina, have also contributed to the Perry Sisters song-writing efforts.

Rodney Underwood joins Tammy on stage. Rodney plays keyboards, bass guitar and is the sound tech for the group.

The Perry Sisters have recorded 24 albums, and had 29 top forty hits, in a career spanning 27 years. The Perry Sisters have been nominated for numerous awards such as: Favorite Trio, Favorite Soprano, Horizon Award, and Favorite Video. Considering that most gospel music material has been written with male quartets in mind, these accomplishments are not to be taken lightly.

The Perry Sisters have met the song-writing challenges. Diana has been penning songs since 1980, including as I Wonder How Mary Felt, There'll Be A Payday, Resurrection Morn, Imagine If You Will, Heaven's Avenue, Only Sleeping, More Like You, and That Wonderful Name.

With their love for the Lord, and their amazing harmonies, it is no wonder The Perry Sisters have been named "The First Ladies of Gospel Music." Everyone should take the opportunity to witness, for themselves, The Perry Sisters in performance. The audience will see a family with a genuine love for their craft, an honest approach to their fans, and an unbridled dedication for writing and singing music for the Lord.
