(NEWTON, NJ) -- From Good Homes returns to The Newton Theatre on Friday, December 20, 2024 at 8:00pm. Named after a judge's explanation for leniency after the young band broke in to a club to finish their set, the band "from good homes" released 5 albums during their career - 3 of which were released by RCA Records.
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 New Jersey. 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. The band performed over 1,500 shows across North America, including tours with Dave Matthews Band, Ratdog featuring Bob Weir and shows with Bob Dylan, Guster, Widespread Panic, Hootie & The Blowfish, Blues Traveler and many more.
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 unique style prompted one critic to affectionately label the band’s blend of influences as “Hick-Pop”.
Tickets range from $49-$79 and are available for purchase online starting Friday, September 20 at 10:00am. A special members-only presale is Thursday, September 19 at 10:00am – 5:00pm. The Newton Theatre is located at 234 Spring Street in Newton, New Jersey.
The historic Newton Theatre was founded in 1924. It is a beautifully restored 605 seat performing arts center in the heart of Sussex County, presenting diverse programming, including world-renowned music acts, comedians, family productions, holiday shows and much more.
