“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
Known for their long, illustrious careers backing countless Hall of Fame artists, these musicians have come together to
perform their own songs as The Immediate Family.
Prior to forming band, Kortchmar, Kunkel and Sklar worked together
since the early 70's as the legendary ensemble The Section, backing up James Taylor and Carole King on “The Troubadour
Reunion Tour” as well as appearing on Taylor and King's various albums. 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.
The Immediate Family performed with Carole King at her induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame ceremony in 2021 and
was also featured in the documentary Carole King & James Taylor: Just Call Out My Name, which premiered on CNN & HBO
Max. In 2022, the esteemed supergroup released Live from Telefunken Soundstage via Quarto Valley Records, a six-song live
recording. The EP came on the heels of the band’s self-titled album, which debuted at #6 on Billboard's Blues Chart,
preceded by the EPs Slippin’ and Slidin’ and Can’t Stop Progress.
