Country music group The Band Perry are paying tribute to their hometown of Greeneville, Tennessee by staging a free concert to thank residents for their support.

The "If I Die Young" hitmakers, siblings Kimberly, Neil and Reid Perry, will launch their second album Pioneer at the outdoors event later this month in the town's North Main Street.

Neil Perry tells ABC, "Anyone who knows us knows how much we love our hometown. We have been travelling so much the past several years that we wanted to bring our new music and our new show back home to the folks in Greeneville to say how much we appreciate their support, just like we did with our first record. It's our way of saying 'thank you.'"

Proceeds from the event will benefit Outnumber Hunger, a charitable organisation which aims to fight food shortages in local communities across the U.S.
