Fiction Family

Fans of Switchfoot have some new music to check out.  Jon Foreman, the frontman for Switchfoot has teamed up with Sean Watkins of Nickel Creek for a side project named Fiction Family.  With credit to Wikipedia: The two began the collaboration in 2005 by writing songs together, according to a blog post on Watkins's website.  Around Mid-2006 they began recording the songs, in bits and pieces while the two were off the road, announcing themselves as "The Real SeanJon". However, on March 13, 2008, it was reported that The Real SeanJon had changed their name to "Fiction Family." Foreman stated that the record would be released in January 2009, and a press release by Nickel Creek later confirmed that the self-titled album, Fiction Family, is to be released on January 20, 2009, on ATO Records.

A free download of their first single, 'When She's Near' is available at the Fiction Family website.  I recommend you grab it... it's a great song!  http://store2.bandfarm.com/fiction-family/form/free-download/
