(HACKETTSTOWN, NJ) -- On Saturday, August 3rd, From Good Homes will celebrate the release of their new album, Time and the River, at the Waterloo Concert Field in Hackettstown.  The event also features special guests Marco Benevento, Yarn, Owl and Crow, and The Nebula Jam.  Doors are at 2:00pm, the show starts at 2:30pm.  The show will take place rain or shine.

The genesis of From Good Homes dates back to a high school band, when childhood friends Todd Sheaffer, Brady Rymer, and Patrick Fitzsimmons came together in rural, Northwestern NJ to play some music. Originally called “Old Crow”, and later evolving into “The Dogs”, the core line-up remained. With the addition of Dan Myers in 1988, and Jamie Coan in 1990, the band From Good Homes was fully formed.

The band’s upbeat approach, solid songwriting, and unique sound allowed them to quickly develop a dedicated following on the touring circuit. Bringing together rock, jazz, folk, celtic and jam-band influences under one umbrella, rooted in Todd Sheaffer’s inspired songwriting, From Good Homes forged their own, instantly lovable music Their feel-good vibe prompted one critic to affectionately label the band’s blend of influences as “Hick-Pop”. They made fans want to kick on the dancin’ shoes from day one.

As the band members themselves have stated: “We wanted first and foremost to make a real and honest form of music that moved people (both their brains and their butts) and left them, over all, feeling good.” 

In the winter and spring of 2018, twenty years after their last studio release, the five of them got together to write and record some new music. From those sessions Time and the River was created.
