New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Stephen Klein is proud to announce the addition of Big Sam's Funky Nation to the Stephen Klein Management roster. The band is led by trombone powerhouse Big Sam, who the San Francisco Chronicle calls "the top man on the slide trombone in the birthplace of jazz." The band's signature Noladelic Powerfunk sound masterfully combines a rock sensibility with improv-style jazz and a horn-heavy front section that's the hallmark of big band funk. Since releasing their debut album in 2004 Big Sam's Funky Nation has become a festival favorite- logging appearances at New Orleans Jazz & Heritage, Gathering of the Vibes, Telluride Blues & Brews, Doheny Blues Festival, Austin City Limits, Bonnaroo, Wakarusa, Voodoo
Music Experience, Bear Creek
Music & Arts Festival, LEAF & many more.
According to Stephen, "It's exciting to work with a band that has the same high energy and work ethics as I do. We share the same vision and goals and that is the formula for success. I told Big Sam to hold on and enjoy the ride."
Founded in New Orleans in 1995, Stephen Klein Management has guided the careers of a succession of popular bands including Deadeye Dick, Cowboy Mouth, and Papa Grows Funk. His artists have combined to sell over 4 million records worldwide and have had numerous singles on the Billboard music charts. Klein has a knack for helping bands attain national and international success. After signing Deadeye Dick and Cowboy Mouth, their singles, "New Age Girl" and "Jenny Says" respectively, topped the charts and the groups went on to perform in front of sold out audiences across the globe. With Papa Grows Funk he was instrumental in the making of their critically acclaimed album "Needle in the Groove".
Co-produced by legendary musicians Allen Toussaint and Tom Drummond of Better Than Ezra, the record peaked at #3 on the Relix/Jambands.com chart soon after it's release.
