About
The Watkins Family Hour, known for their folk and bluegrass music, recently performed a noteworthy Tiny Desk concert. The sibling duo, Sara and Sean Watkins, originating from Nickel Creek, showcased their musical talents alongside pianist Benmont Tench, drummer Don Heffington, and bassist Sebastian Steinberg. A standout moment from the concert was the surprise appearance of guest vocalist Fiona Apple, who added her unique touch to songs like "In The Pines."
The Watkins Family Hour started over a decade ago as a casual music gathering in Los Angeles, evolving into a full-fledged bluegrass musical collaborative. Their debut self-titled album, featuring covers and a lineup including Fiona Apple and other accomplished musicians, received positive reviews upon its release in 2015, demonstrating the group's musical prowess. Subsequent albums like "Brother Sister" and "Vol. II" continue to showcase the Watkins siblings' combined talents and dedication to their craft. With their impressive Tiny Desk concert, the Watkins Family Hour proves they are a force to be reckoned with in the world of Americana music.
