OT: Musical relatives

[nwhoopfan]

As you might notice, twin brothers backing up Brandi (and one of them married her sister).

Whole family band--dad, mom, brother and sister. Kasey Chambers was in her teens when they started. She went solo at a fairly early age. I think her brother does some studio stuff, but dad has been in touring band all along, he plays a mean slide guitar.

Dad and a bunch of siblings from Louisiana who play beautiful bluegrass and old timey music.

In her mid teens, Carrie Fisher was removed from Hollywood High School so that she could instead learn the "show biz" education her super star mom Debbie Reynolds had in store for her.

I wonder if Billie Lourde sings? That would make 3 generations. She is an actor anyway.

Speaking of the beginnings of bluegrass, how about Ralph and Carter Stanley?

Sharon Shannon is a pretty well-known Irish traditional musician hailing from County Clare. She plays accordion. Her brother Garry is a wonderful flute player. They have a sister Mary who plays fiddle, though I only know her as a supporting player.

Well, they may not fit entirely in the spirit of the original post, I am surprised the Cowsills have not yet been mentioned.

This one is more in line with the spirit of the OP. The first post will be of Louis Prima. The second will be from his daughter, who we saw play live at the New Orleans Jazz Festival earlier this year.

Johnny and Edgar Winter. There is a family resemblance.

 

[Ozimoto]

And Louis Prima's daughter Lena performing a song her dad contributed to the Disney animated film "The Jungle Book."

Rick and Oliver Wakeman, who both played with Yes; both have solo careers too.

Black Crowes, brothers Chris and Rich Robinson. Then they got upset with each other and broke up. But recently got back together. In between Chris went and formed the Chris Robinson Brotherhood. (Rich did some solo work and formed a couple other groups himself.)

Anyway, here's something newer from them, now they are back together.

Wanting and Waiting




And something from the Chris Robinson Brotherhood (covering Three Dog Night)

Never Been To Spain

 

[meyers7]

Creedence Clearwater Revival had the Fogerty brothers, John and Tom. After they split, John went on to have a few of his own hits.

CCR covering a Motown song (covered by multiple Motown artists) and putting their own spin on it.

I Heard It Through The Grapevine (extended version)




One of John's most known song's. And an cool video.

Together or apart they are...

A little known fact is that Nat King Cole and his brothers Isaac, Eddie and Freddy sang together while growing up. Isaac "aka" Ike had a jazz trio named the Ike Cole trio. Ike and his band received major TV exposure, and soon after became a steady attraction in Las Vegas. Throughout the years, his band toured Japan, Australia, Europe, and the United States regularly. Later in 1990 he and his brother Freddy toured together doing a tribute show to Nat. Ike and his niece Natalie also did a tribute to Nat a year later with Ike playing the piano and also singing backup with Natalie cutting her Grammy Award winning album "Unforgettable". Here is a clip of him doing a tribute to Nat.
