Watkins Family Hour is an eponymous album born from the decade-plus monthly residency hosted by siblings (and ex-Nickel Creek members) Sean and Sara Watkins at Los Angeles’ Largo. The crystalline covers collection features their takes on the Grateful Dead and country and Americana standards, along with a compelling Fiona Apple guest spot.

The Watkins Family Hour is a ragtag group anchored by Nickel Creek’s Sarah and Sean Watkins.

Born out of a long-term residency gig at L.A.'s popular nightclub Largo, Watkins Family Hour is a sort of variety show and spontaneous jam session hosted by multi-instrumentalist siblings Sean and Sara Watkins, formerly of the progressive bluegrass group Nickel Creek.
