Dear Wrecking Crew Family and Friends,
Here is the latest update on the Wrecking Crew follow up film, "Immediate Family".
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It is now May and the film has been shown throughout North America for over six months. It is currently available on HULU (where you can also see the Wrecking Crew Documentary).
If you do not have HULU, you can rent the film on many of the pay per view platfoms; Amazon Prime, Apple TV, VUDU,YouTube and many more.
But if you are one of those folks that still have a Blu-ray or DVD player, you're in luck! Not only are 'we' special, but only you will be able to watch the bonus material. The Blu-ray has 3 hours of extras and the DVD has 1 hour. Both of these have the Round Table discussion with the band.
But what if you are thinking about buying a player? Instead, try to win one free.
|
|
For the month of May and June, if you visit www.immediatefamilyfilm.com/bluray and put your name in the hat you might win a brand new Blu-ray with a free Blu-ray copy of the Immediate Family Film and the Wrecking Crew DVD which includes 6 hours of bonus material. (UNITED STATES ONLY- Sorry)

Savannah, Georgia
The band just played a concert in Savannah, Georgia at for "Me, Myself, & Us" hosted by Thomas Claxton. Thomas Claxton, partnered with Georgia Southern University and the Gretsch School of Music. A special thanks to Fred and Dinah Gretsch who hosted an amazing evening.
It was a great couple of days. Unfortunately, Waddy wasn't able to join the band, but his seat was filled with lead guitarist and founding member of the 'Cars', Elliot Easton. The band was sensational and after the screening the next night, Russ Kunkel, Leland Sklar,and Steve Postell gave a great Master's Class for the attendees.
Favorite part of the trip: Mrs. Wilkes' experience! Southern Cooking.

Danny Kortchmar is holding down the fort and continues to write new material.
To keep this fine-tuned machine moving forward, we are looking to keep our merch out there. The branding helps us to travel with the film. It's been fun coming up with ideas like this for clothing. Father's day is coming up.

It's impossible to overstate the talent of these guys." - Rock and BluesMuse
"The term 'supergroup' has been used many times in the music business. For the members of The Immediate Family, the aforementioned status applies, but it is a secondary thought. They let the music speak for itself. The players have collaborated together to create some great material for today's rock lovers." - Vintagerock.com
"Most of these songs are original compositions, and several qualify immediately as stone classics. There's a whole lotta rock and roll here for sure." - Relix
"It's almost redundant to say the quintet is atthe top of their game. But they are. They play with a silent code of groove and never miss. And, yes, they can sing as good as they play. As session players extraordinaire, the men have been on some of the very best in history with a range of stars that have created hundreds of classics. But now the songwriting is on them, and they come through with shining originals."
- AmericanaHighways
"Fresh from their award-winning documentary, these (formerly) unsung heroes are the toast of the town. And it's about time! These are the guys that provided support to the stars and the soundtrack to a generation. And they've still got something to say." - MusicConnection
These seasoned musicians can still rock! - US Rocker
