Hey, isn't your dad ...?
I got into a discussion with my wife about famous musicians whose fathers (or mothers) were famous musicians in their own right. We came up with:
Jakob Dylan The members of Wilson-Phillips Jason Bonham Nelson (Matthew and Gunnar Nelson) Hank Williams, Jr. Julian and Sean Lennon Zak Starkey The Zappas (Dweezil, Moon Unit, and Ahmet) Wynonna Judd Note that I included Zak Starkey, so I've got a relatively loose definition of "famous." I know we must be missing a bunch. Who else is out there? |
Norah Jones.
|
Yeah, there are a bunch of them.
Natalie Cole (Nat King Cole's daughter) Norah Jones (Ravi Shankar's daughter) Ziggy Marley (Bob Marley's son) Wolfgang Van Halen (maybe not famous but he will be touring with the band) Less famous, but there's also Loudon Wainwright and his son Rufus and daughter Martha Wainwright. |
Arlo Guthrie
|
Lauren Harris (Steve Harris of Iron Maiden)
|
Hank Williams III?

Dino, Desi & Billy (not sure if they qualify as 'famous') Derek Trucks is Butch Trucks' nephew (again, this depends on your definition of 'famous') |

Frank Sinatra, Jr. Also I remember hearing about a band a few years ago that was basically the kids of a lot of famous musicians, but they were all like 9 or 10. It may have included the son or daughter of Thurston Moore, if such a thing exists. |
Gary Lewis(Jerry's kid) and the Playboys
David Cassidy |
