Celebrate Karen Peck & New River's Homecoming in Peck's Backyard
Every year on Fathers Day weekend Karen Peck and New River celebrate their homecoming with fans. This year, the 14th Annual Karen Peck and New River Homecoming, will happen in Karen Peck's backyard. Several years ago, Karen had a pavilion in the form of a tabernacle build on her property in Dahlonega. Fans from across the country bring their lawn chairs and enjoy great Gospel singing for two days. The talent is always superior and the crowd always leaves wanting more.
This year is no exception with the Hoppers and the Guardians joining New River for an exciting opening night on Friday, June19th.
The following night, Saturday, June 20th, the Tribute Quartet, the New River Band, and Josh and Ashley Franks will be joining New River to perform before the capacity crowd.Karen stated, "We have lots of yard to cover, so we hope you bring your lawn chair and join us for two nights of soul blessing Gospel music."
Tenor singer, Jeff Hawes added, "The singing is out of this world, but it's worth the trip just for the pinto beans and corn bread that's served both nights."
Ever since 1991, KPNR which comprises of Karen Peck, her sister Susan Peck-Jackson and Jeff Hawes, has been making their mark in Southern Gospel Music. Together, they have garnered a whopping 11 Favorite Soprano Fan Awards from the readers of The Singing News Magazine. And they have had 5 consecutive #1 songs. Songs such as "Hey," "Last Night," "Four Days Late," "Revival" and "Whispered Prayers" are already Gospel radio staples.
Their latest release "Pray Now" is destined to follow such a path. The album opens with a propulsive barn burner "Calling." Fusing some relentless sounding banjos, frenzy fiddling, and the big belting voice of Karen, there's a vim of energy that beckons us to listen to Christ's calling for us to follow him. Fans who adore KPNR rolling out such a ball of passionate energy will also love "I'm Not Letting Go," a song that showcases Jeff Hawes' soaring tenor.
As much enjoyment as the beat kickers are, the ballads are easily the album's cynosure. The aforementioned title cut "Pray Now" is where Karen Peck invests so much intimacy in her phrasing and nuancing that her vocals itself are worth the price of this CD.
