“Joe has the New Orleans piano style nailed, as the presence of Professor Longhair, Allen Toussaint, Dr. John and James Booker are everywhere throughout this recording.” Blues Blast Magazine
Collectively Joe Krown and Papa Mali are taking Joe’s latest release “Tribute” on the road. It is a curated collection of songs from many of New Orleans’ gifted musicians: Allen Toussaint, Walter ‘Wolfman’ Washington, and many more. Joe showcases his piano expertise while showcasing the plethora of friends who joined him in making this release a true work of art. With a little bit of help from his friend, Papa Mali, the songs will come to life. This show is a must for all who love New Orleans music. Specifically, New Orleans piano. Joe currently tours the world as a member of the Kenny Wayne Shepherd Band, and has previously been bandmates with Clarence “Gatemouth” Brown and Walter “Wolfman” Washington. Papa Mali is best known as the frontman of 7 Walkers, a band formed in 2009 that includes three musical icons: Grateful Dead founding member and drummer Bill Kreutzmann, The Meters’ founding bassist, George Porter Jr. and lyricist Robert Hunter.
“Busted on Bourbon St.”, featuring members of Organ Fairchild and The Brass Machine, turns the Grateful Dead songbook into a brassy, funky New Orleans jam.
