Santa Barbara, CA, October 5, 2021–
Lobero LIVE and EARL MINNIS PRESENTS The Immediate Family with
Danny Kortchmar, Waddy Wachtel, Leland Sklar, Russ Kunkel and Steve Postell, Saturday, November 6, 2021 at
8 PM.
This iconic supergroup has played together for decades, but never as their own band. Known for their
long, illustrious careers backing countless Hall of Fame artists, the musicians have come together to perform
their own songs as The Immediate Family. The band is composed of four of the most recorded, respected and
sought-after players in modern music: Danny Kortchmar (guitar and vocals), Waddy Wachtel (guitar and vocals),
Leland Sklar (bass), Russ Kunkel (drums) and the addition of prominent touring, session guitarist and songwriter
Steve Postell (guitar and vocals).
“It’s pure rock’n’roll by a band of assassins who aim to groove and never miss their target ... a collection
that rock guitar connoisseurs will savor.”

MOJO MAGAZINE
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 more. Collectively, these musicians helped define the sound of a generation. “We are
very proud of the people we’ve gotten to work with,” Kortchmar states, “but we’re also thrilled to now be
playing our own music.” Wachtel concurs, “It’s too wonderful for words. I didn’t see this coming, and now I can’t
imagine it having not happened.”
The group released their highly anticipated full-length, self-titled album on August 27 via Quarto Valley Records.
Produced by the band, the new album features twelve original songs plus two bonus tracks: live versions of
the Danny Kortchmar/Jackson Browne collaboration “Somebody’s Baby” and Warren Zevon’s “Johnny Strikes
Up the Band.” The Immediate Family – which debuted on the Billboard Blues Chart at #6 – comes on the heels
of two previous EPs, Slippin and Slidin' and Can’t Stop Progress. And their first single/video, “Fair Warning,” was
released back in July. In addition, production continues on The Immediate Family documentary by
filmmaker Danny Tedesco (The Wrecking Crew), expected to be released in 2022.
Tickets for The Immediate Family are on sale now at Lobero.org and at the Lobero Box Office 805.963.0761.
