Do we count Nat King Cole’s posthumous duetwith his daughter?
(Ironically enough, I couldn’t remember the singer *or *the song until I Googled it)
The phrasing of the OP wasn’t intentional. I should have said offspring. You can include daughters, nieces. In fact let’s open it up to any second or third generation family members of either gender.
Second or third generation? Hell, the Carter Familyis on its fourth generation now.
Glen Campbell has three of his kids performing with him on his farewell tour, most notably his daughter Ashley.
How about the reverse? The Cowsills (the basis for the Partridge Family) were already a band before their mother joined (along with two more siblings).
I didn’t know that until I read the linked article; I always assumed Barbara Cowsill was a member from the beginning.
Dhani Harrison finished his father George’s final album after his death.
Meat Loaf’s stepdaughter, Pearl Aday (her biological dad was Janis Joplin’s drummer), is his opening act on tour, and occassionally joins him onstage during the encore. (His son-in-law, Anthrax’s Scott Ian, also plays in Pearl’s band.)
And then there’s LMFAO, which is an uncle-and-nephew duo (who are also the son and grandson, respectively, of Motown founder Berry Gordy).
Tangerine Dream - Edgar Froese and his son Jerome Froese.
Teddy Thompson has toured with and played album backing for his dad Richard.
Daxx Nielsen, son of Rick Nielsen, is the touring drummer for Cheap Trick.
What happened to Bun E.!?
Otis Taylor often tours with his daughter Cassie.
Cheap Trick says he has back problems but is still in the band.
Bun E says he’s healthy and they just haven’t called him in a long time.
So to answer your question…I don’t know.
The Spanic Boys are a father/son act.
Didn’t DZ perform in Frank’s band at least once?.
I’ll add:
Joachim Cooder (with Ry)
Rosanne Lindley (with David)
One obvious example of a parent/child act is the Judds, mother Naomi and daughter Wynonna.
Paul Carrack has played/mini toured with Tinlin. His son Jack is part of Tinlin.
…Neil Finn, with sons Liam and Elroy, and Neil’s brother Tim. Kiwi classic.
Stevie Young, nephew of Angus and Malcolm, stood in for Malcolm on one tour in the 80’s.
Since some have mentioned Frank Zappa, note that Moon Unit performed on the song “Valley Girl.”
I think that Shiela E often performed with her dad, Pete Escovedo.
I consider the winner to be a person whose name I do not know.
I remember in 1975 I went to a Grateful Dead concert and the backup singer was very obviously late term pregnant.
So somewhere out there is some 36 year old who can say, “Dude, I toured with the Dead before I was born!. Yep, right there on stage with the whole troupe.”
I think that would have to be Donna Jean Godchaux, although that timeline is a little off. Her son Zion was born in 1974, and his father was their then-keyboardist Keith Godchaux.
