A perennial favorite in the Absolutely Gospel Music Awards, Karen Peck & New River, were mentioned in nine categories – including Song of the Year (for “Revival”) and Album of the Year (for 'Revival') – two categories the group won last year. “Revival” penned by Karen Peck, Don Poythress and Kenna West was number one on both the Singing News and Absolutely Gospel Music charts.
Though Karen has written and recorded several of her songs, this nomination for Songwriter of the Year is her first award recognition as a songwriter.
Karen stated “We are very honored to be nominated by our peers and do not take it lightly. We have been blessed with such great and anointed songs and we are thankful that God has allowed us to be the vehicle He uses to sing them. We are also glad that our songs are connecting with the people who listen to them.” Karen continued “ This is an opportunity for us to spread the Gospel message even further and that is what we are all about. We have been praying that 2014 will bring a true revival not just to our city, state and country, but to the entire world.”
