OT: Musical relatives

Durn, can't believe someone beat me to Frank and Dweezil.

I think there are at least 3 Timmins siblings in this band.

 
Del goes almost back to the very beginnings of bluegrass. He brought his sons Rob and Ronnie into his band when they were fairly young, they've been playing and touring with him for a long time now.

 
Siblings Sean and Sara Watkins, plus Chris Thile (lead vocal on this song and mandolin).

 
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.

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.

Jon Anderson (YES) and his brother



The line-up included Jon Anderson (later Yes singer) on vocals, Jon's brother Tony Anderson (later Los Bravos member)
 
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.
