PGF recently hired industry veteran Stephen Klein as its manager. Klein's artists, which have included Cowboy Mouth and Deadeye Dick, have combined to sell well over a million records, and have to their credit two gold records, as well as numerous singles charting in Billboard Magazine.

PGF is currently working on new material and planning to release a new CD in the first half of 2011.

"Picking the best R&B/Funk band in New Orleans is like picking the city's best gumbo," said Klein. "It's impossible, because they are all great. And that's also what makes these nominations such an honor for the band and for John."
