Sign in to disble this ad
A friend came to me with an interesting idea. He imagined forming a band of current musicians who are offspring (or otherwise blood related) to former/current musicians who made a name in their own right. For example, John Bonham's son Jason plays drums, etc. Sort of like a "second generation band." Other than Wolfgang Van Halen, neither he nor I could think of a current bassist that fits this criterion. Any ideas???

| | | | Derek Trucks's dad isn't a famous musician, his uncle Butch is maybe who you were thinking about. Matthew Garrison's dad was Jimmy Garrison, bass player with John Coltrane, both are fantastic bass players. |

And don't forget that Shooter's mom is Jesi Coulter, so he gets double the music genes. |

Peter is my mom's brother. I've always used my moms name because my parents got divorced when I was 2 & I've never known him or anyone on that side of the family...only the Erskine side.
