From Good Homes will continue their reunion with a weekend of shows at the Wellmont Theatre in Montclair, NJ on December 17th & 18th .

The Wellmont Theatre was the site of >From Good Homes's reunion in 2009 over 2 sold out shows after a 10 year hiatus, of which Relix Magazine said the band's "playing still feels as fresh and invigorating as it ever was".

Since the initial 2009 Reunion, the band has headlined The Mighty High Festival in Tuxedo, NY and performed a headline show at The Music Box at The Borgata Hotel, Casino & Spa in Atlantic City over this past Labor Day weekend.

"We've had such a great time gettin' back together and playing last year, so it just felt right to return to the Wellmont and crank it up again," says bassist Brady Rymer. "We have been overwhelmed by the enthusiastic response, and it has been amazing to reconnect with fans and friends we hadn't seen in a long time. We're planning to ramp up the energy and spirit a little further and get the Wellmont shakin' even harder this year!"

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. 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.

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. Their 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".
