About Fiction Family

Fiction Family is a musical collaboration between Switchfoot frontman Jon Foreman and Nickel Creek guitarist Sean Watkins. The duo released their self-titled, full-length album on January 20, 2009. Fiction Family originally went by the name, "The Real SeanJon," a name jokingly chosen in the hopes that Sean "Sean John" Combs would sue them. According to a blog post on Watkins' website, they started the collaboration in 2005, writing songs together. Around Mid-2006 they began recording the songs, in bits and pieces while the two were off the road. On March 13, 2008, it was reported that The Real SeanJon had changed their name to "Fiction Family." It was rumored at one point that Starbucks might put out Fiction Family's record, sometime in the summer of 2008. "We're doing the final song right now, and there's a rumor that there's a large company that produces caffeinated beverages that might put it out in a few months. So, we'll see," said Foreman. But later, Foreman stated that the record would be released in January 2009, and a press release by Nickel Creek confirmed that the album, Fiction Family, was to be released on January 20, 2009, on ATO Records.
