Karen Dee
Born and raised in Clinton, North Carolina, Karen Denise Daughtry started singing as soon as she started talking. The only child of a large musical family Karen couldn’t help but become an amazing talent.
Though her first instrument was a guitar from her mother, at the age of nine, Karen started playing drums to fill in the missing sound when her family got together to play. With a lot of support and love from mom and dad, and aunts and uncles, Karen started playing in her first “paying” band at the early age of 14. With influences from Patsy Cline to Aretha Franklin none were more important than Karen’s own Aunt Gayle Strickland who showed her the magic of harmony.
In 1989, with the same determination she plays and sings with, Karen loaded up her car and moved to Nashville. With her mighty sticks and untouchable back-up vocals, Karen had no problem finding work playing in a contest tour for upcoming stars such as Tim McGraw, Tracy Lawrence and Tammy Cochran.
While playing at the Nashville Nightlife Karen became a sought after “A” list musician. She became a favorite in the heart of Nashville entertainers such as Jack Green, Jeanie Sealy, Johnny Russsell, Del Reeves, Tommy Cash, Daryl McCall and even got the attention of television from the Hee-Haw banjo player Roni Stoneman.
With her sultry, soulful voice it is no surprise to her fans and musical peers that Karen Dee has made her way from a light at the back of the stage to the Star in the center.
