HILLSBORO — Myers Dinner Theatre recently announced that another award-winning Gospel group, Karen Peck and New River, will appear on stage Thursday for two shows.
Five-time Grammy nominated, seven-time GMA Dove Award winning Karen Peck and New River has impacted the gospel music industry for almost 30 years. In 2018, Karen Peck Gooch was inducted into the Gospel Music Association Hall of Fame.
Over the years, the musical team has shared the gospel through song around the world, traveling throughout the United States and Canada, as well as Israel, Central America and Europe. The group is regularly featured on the popular Gaither Homecoming Video Series, which airs worldwide.
Karen Peck & New River has enjoyed more than 20 number one hits, including “Four Days Late,” which was named Song of the Decade for 2000-2010 by The Singing News Magazine.
Over the years Karen Peck & New River has become a family affair, as Karen and Rickey’s daughter, Kari, as well as their son, Matthew, are full-time group members.
Karen Peck & New River has evolved throughout the past three decades and has firmly established a place at the forefront of Southern gospel music. However, the Gospel Music Hall of Fame member refuses to rest on past laurels. New River continues to deliver a progressive sound that is distinctive yet remains true to the traditional styling that has made them a fan favorite. They have been faithfully striving for excellence to make KPNR relevant in today’s society. Collectively, they are more committed than ever to continue to share the message of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
