Biography

As a young girl, Karen Peck attended the all night concert events in the Atlanta, GA area and dreamed of singing with the famous LeFevre Family when she grew up. Around 1979, she joined Uncle Alf And The LeFevres. The original LeFevres had changed their name to The Rex Nelon Singers in 1977. In 1981, she left Uncle Alf's group and joined Rex's. Over the next ten years, she sang her way into the hearts of fans. Karen then launched a mixed Southern Gospel group called Karen Peck And New River that included her sister Susan and her husband, Rickey Gooch.

Karen has written many Southern Gospel songs, including several that have been recorded by her group.

In 2011, she began an acting career with an appearance in Joyful Noise starring Dolly Parton and Queen Latifah.
