(NETCONG, NJ) -- From Good Homes, the beloved NJ band known for their unique blend of rock, folk, and jam-band vibes, is appearing for a one-night-only event on Friday, June 27, 2025 at The Historic Palace Theatre in Netcong. The benefit is to support the mission of The Growing Stage – The Children's Theatre of New Jersey to bring the magic of the arts to young audiences. Showtime is 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.

Tickets are $100 (a special VIP ticket that includes a meet & greet at 7:00pm is available for $175). Tickets are available for purchase online.
