There's no hiding Dhani Harrison's lineage. "There's a lot I inherited from my dad," says the late George Harrison's son, 30, who is tentatively stepping into the limelight with thenewno2, a psychedelic band he formed with friend Oli Hecks. The pair released a debut on iTunes in August and have done only a few shows. Though he knows he'll never escape his dad's shadow, Harrison's OK with that. "There's negative baggage that can come with having a famous dad," he says. "But there are positive things too. When I want to take a meeting, people will listen to me." AUSTIN SCAGGS
