Biography

The Kelly Family is one family, but in the same time - a multicultural band, who played music in the styles of Pop, Rock, Folk and even Jazz. The main feature of the band was not only nine siblings, singing and playing beautiful music, but the sincerety of this music, the choir, simple but lovely lyrics and the culture of the family. The band started their career in early 1980s and since than sold over 20 millon copies of their albums. They are the autors of the biggest selling pop album in German history - Over The Hump [1994].

For many years, the group presented a unique gypsy image and a vagabonding lifestyle, travelling around Europe in a double-decker bus and houseboat. Their image was enhanced by their eclectic and often home-made clothing and the very long hair worn by both male and female members of the band. In recent years they have presented a more modern look.

Everything started from their father - Daniel Jerome, Dan for short, who was born 11th of October 1930 in Michigan, USA. He grew up to be a teacher and professor in math, Lateen and philosophy. He also owned an antique shop. Dan married Joanne in 1957, and they got 4 children, Danny (1961), Caroline (1962), Kathy (1963) and Paul (1964). Danny was retarded.

In the USA the family lived a modern life with TV, radio and two cars. But Dan got sick of the “American Life”. He wanted his kids to grow up in a safe environment, which he meant they wouldn’t find in the US. May 1965 they moved to Europe and Spain.

    For me it's the one of the most charismatic and positive bands ever. They really rock. They really feel their music and have fun of making it. Sound of my childhood:) Joey and Paddy are my farorites :)

    I used to be a huge Kelly Family fan ten years ago. I actually started writing songs because of Kelly Family. They were my inspiration, so I'm kind of thankful to them that their music motivated me to create my own. Feel free to listen to my music and let me know what you think - if you hear any KF-influences :) Lucie Niemelä. Here's my debut single: Miners.
