Watkins Family Hour is an American bluegrass musical collaborative led by Sara Watkins and Sean Watkins (formerly of the progressive bluegrass group Nickel Creek). The group began in 2002 as a monthly, informal musical variety show with the Watkins siblings and their friends in the Los Angeles nightclub Largo. For the singer-songwriter-multi-instrumentalists, the Watkins Family Hour has long been an oasis from the rigors of the road, a laboratory where they can try out new material or master beloved cover songs.
