Frequent collaborators both in the studio and on-stage, their work can be heard on albums from Jackson Browne, James Taylor, Linda Ronstadt, Stevie Nicks, Keith Richards, Warren Zevon, Graham Nash, Neil Young, David Crosby, and many, many more.

The documentary ‘Immediate Family’ will be shown at select film festivals starting September 30th in Woodstock, NY, October 1st in Wichita, KS, and October 2nd in Nashville, TN.

Danny Kortchmar (guitar, vocals), Leland Sklar (bass), and Russ Kunkel (drums), have worked together since the early 70s and made up three-quarters of “The Section,” best known for both their studio and live work in support of some of the top-selling singer/songwriters and solo singers in the history of music, as well as their own acclaimed instrumental albums. (By the mid-70s, they were later joined by Waddy Wachtel on guitar) and later still, Steve Postell (guitar, vocals). Collectively, these musicians helped define the sound of a generation.

Next month, The Immediate Family will release a new single from the band’s forthcoming studio album, which will be available in early 2023 on Quarto Valley Records. The new album follows the recent EP Live from Telefunken Soundstage, preceded by the critically acclaimed self-titled album and EPs, Can’t Stop Progress and Slippin’ and Slidin.
