Joe Krown is a New Orleans piano and B-3 master, known for his prowess in the funk, blues, boogie-woogie and jazz arenas, and for his work with The Joe Krown Organ Combo, for his legacy with Clarence “Gatemouth” Brown and, presently, as a member of the hard-touring Kenny Wayne Shepard Band.
A native of New York, Krown began playing the piano as a child. In the 1980s he joined Chuck Berry’s band, and also backed up the Platters, Marvellettes, and the Drifters. He went out with Muddy Waters’ guitarist Luther “Guitar Junior” Johnson for a couple of years, then, in 1991, got the call from Clarence “Gatemouth” Brown and packed his bags for New Orleans. He toured with Gate until the bluesman’s death in 2005, including opening for Eric Clapton and Carlos Santana and recording four albums.
Krown has a robust solo career, and has played and recorded in several successful small combos with Walter “Wolfman” Washington, John Fohl, Russell Batiste, Jr., and Johnny Sansone, among others. Either alone or with a trio, he is a regular performer in clubs and at festivals in New Orleans and across the country, and has recorded some fifteen albums. He has also recorded with Bobby Charles, Kid Ramos, Amanda Shaw, Juice, and Zigaboo Modeliste of The Meters.
