This conversation marks the second engagement for the Immediate Family with the GRAMMY Museum (first appearance in 2018) and comes closely on the heels of the release of the band’s U.S. first single “Cruel Twist,” from their upcoming EP on Quarto Valley Records. The discussion will be moderated by Scott Goldman and will take place on July 9 at 4 p.m. PDT for fans to tune in and watch live from home.
“I’m so excited to speak with five of the most accomplished musicians and songwriters around,” stated Scott Goldman, Host/Moderator, GRAMMY Museum Public Programs. “It only makes sense for them to be in a band together. These guys are both witness to, and participants in, music history! (And the new single sounds great!).”
