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.
