The Kelly Family is a European-American music group comprising nine siblings from the United States who performed rock, pop, and folk music across multiple languages including English, Spanish, German, and Basque. Active from 1974 to 2008, they occasionally featured their parents as performers in their early years. The group achieved significant commercial success across continental Europe, particularly in Germany and the Benelux region, becoming the sixth most popular music act in Germany during the 1990s. With over 20 million albums sold since the early 1980s, they maintained a strong following throughout Scandinavia, Central Europe, Spain, and Portugal, though they remained largely unknown in their native United States.
