We were excited enough about Thursday, June 11th's Fiction Family show, featuring Jon Foreman of Switchfoot and Sean Watkins of Nickel Creek. Now we're thrilled to let you know that Sean's sister and fellow Nickel Creek founder Sara Watkins will be opening the show, providing a reunion of sorts for 2/3 of the award-winning and critically-acclaimed act.

Tickets for the limited seating 8pm show are only $15 in advance, and are available online, at Harvest Records and Orbit DVD in West Asheville, and right here at the venue. Don't miss this one!

Fiction Family is a beautiful byproduct of a music industry in crisis. The adventurous new project is comprised of Sean Watkins of Nickel Creek and Jon Foreman of Switchfoot, and their self-titled debut album was released in January on ATO Records.

Though their bands have followed somewhat divergent paths - Grammy-award winning Nickel Creek crossing over from the bluegrass scene to mainstream roots music, and the Grammy-nominated Switchfoot ruling over modern-rock radio - these two have known each other casually since high school, when both began exploring the California music scene by playing an endless series of shows with their respective groups.Thursday, June 11th. 8pm. $15 advance/$18 day of show.
