Rev. Nathaniel "Peewee" Brown (1961 - 2025) was the longtime manager of The New Golden Crowns and a beloved member of Louisville's quartet community. At a young age - around ten years old - he began playing drums for The Religious Five. As a boy, he played drums and bass on numerous recordings by various quartets that Bro. Joe Thomas made at his B-J Sounds Studio. Before his long tenure with the New Golden Crowns, he was a member of Archie Dale and The Tones of Joy. He was widely regarded as one of Louisville's most talented bassists. (Photo courtesy of Rev.
