Watkins Family Hour: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert

September 15, 2015 by BOB BOILEN The Watkins Family Hour began a dozen or so years ago as a way for a group of friends to get together and play old and new tunes. For Sean and Sara Watkins, it served as a monthly bit of magic: a musical variety show filled with extraordinary talent in the world of folk, bluegrass and beyond at famous Largo. Now, the Watkins siblings known for their work in Nickel Creek, among many other projects have taken their fiddle, guitar and charm on a countryflavored yellow brick road, gathering friends and surprises along the way. For this tour and their Tiny Desk Concert, their biggest surprise is the addition of Fiona Apple as a guest vocalist who actually yowls along to songs like the traditional tune In The Watkins Family Hour is available now. iTunes: Amazon: Set List Steal Your Heart Away 00:00 In The Pines 04:05 Hop High 09:3
