Watkins Family Hour (Family Hour Records, 2015) is the debut studio album from the Los Angeles collective built around siblings Sean Watkins and Sara Watkins of Nickel Creek. Since 2002 the Watkins Family Hour has operated as a monthly concert residency at Club Largo, with a rotating cast of musician friends performing informal sets. The studio album crystallizes that communal energy into a covers program featuring guests including Sebastian Steinberg, Fiona Apple, Benmont Tench, and Greg Leisz. The catalog personnel listing Keith Moseley and Michael Kang of String Cheese Incident likely reflects Largo residency live appearances rather than studio album credits — neither name is documented in available sources for the 2015 recording. The project occupies the acoustic folk-pop-country space that Nickel Creek and the Watkins siblings' collaborations have inhabited, with the Largo context lending an informal warmth unusual in studio work.
