简介：
Works Progress Administration, named after a Franklin Roosevelt program to put people to work during the Great Depression, is something of a sideman supergroup that developed out of the interactions of musicians at the Los Angeles club Largo. Its founding members were former Toad the Wet Sprocket singer\u002Fguitarist Glen Phillips, singer\u002Fguitarist Sean Watkins of Nickel Creek, and champion fiddle player Luke Bulla. They added pedal steel guitarist Greg Leisz; Watkins' sister Sara Watkins, also of Nickel Creek; keyboard player Benmont Tench of Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers; and the rhythm section from Elvis Costello's backing band the Imposters, bassist Davey Faragher and drummer Pete Thomas. This septet then went into a recording studio and made an album, before having signed a record contract or even settled on a group name. Ultimately, the album was self-titled and issued by WPA Records\u002FUmami Music when it appeared on September 15, 2009. (Bassist Sebastian Steinberg of Soul Coughing joined the band as a touring member when they hit the road to promote the album.)
