Families that Rock

Having a family business is part of the American entrepreneur’s dream, and building a company or brand side by side with a brother or sister in rock and roll can be both rewarding as well.

Yes, the Cowsills and the Osmond families were families that were groomed to be entertainers. Both had great success in the 60s and 70s.

The amazing soulful band from the 60s and 70s, the Isley Brothers were actually brothers, Marvin, Vernon, Rudolph, Ronald, Ernie, and O’Kelly.

Van Halen, Eddie and Alex Van Halen, were actually born in the Netherlands, starting early while growing up in Pasadena, California. The boy’s first band was called ‘The Broken Combs’ in the early 1970s.

The Black Crowes, Chris and Rich Robinson, are brothers that feud from time to time, while Toto’s Jeff and Mike Porcaro grew up in the same household and rocked their way to fame and fortune.
