(NEWTON, NJ) -- From Good Homes returns to The Newton Theatre for shows on December 18-19, 2026. Doors open at 7:00pm with showtime at 8:00pm each night.
From Good Homes formed in rural Northwestern NJ when childhood friends Todd Sheaffer, Brady Rymer and Patrick Fitzsimmons — later joined by Dan Myers and Jamie Coan — came together to make music rooted in rock, jazz, folk, Celtic and jam-band influences. Their unique sound, built on Todd Sheaffer's inspired songwriting, earned them the affectionate label "Hick-Pop" and a devoted following up and down the East Coast.
The band quickly grew, regularly sharing stages with Hootie & The Blowfish, Dave Matthews Band and Blues Traveler — all of whom opened shows for FGH at one point. A major label deal with RCA Records followed, along with their debut "Open Up The Sky" (1995) and arena tours with Dave Matthews Band and Ratdog. They received a Billboard and Irving Plaza achievement award for the most consecutive sold-out performances ever at the legendary NYC venue — 12 in a row.
After disbanding in 1999 with a farewell concert before 5,000 fans at Waterloo Village, the members went on to successful solo careers — most notably Todd Sheaffer founding the acclaimed bluegrass outfit Railroad Earth, and Brady Rymer earning a Grammy nomination for his children's music. Through it all, the FGH fan base never went away.
Tickets are available for purchase online. The Newton Theatre is located at 234 Spring Street in Newton, New Jersey.
