The genesis of From Good Homes goes back to a high school band, when childhood friends Todd Sheaffer, Brady Rymer, and Patrick Fitzsimmons met in rural, northwestern New Jersey to play some music.

Originally called “Old Crow”, and later in the evolution of “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 formed in its entirety.
