New Jersey hick-pop jamband From Good Homes has announced the release of Charlie Loves Our Band, a documentary film that retells the story of the group’s fabled past, as told by friend and producer Victor Guadagno. The movie is scheduled to premiere at the New Jersey Documentary Film Festival on May 13 in Sparta Township, N.J.
Charlie Loves Our Band digs into the history of childhood friends Todd Sheaffer, Brady Rymer, and Patrick Fitzsimmons. A group of rural New Jersey teens and the first members of what would become From Good Homes.
Guadagno breaks down the past of a band initially known as the Old Crow, evolved into The Dogs and finally cemented themselves as From Good Homes with lineup additions Dan Myers and Jamie Coan. Together, they created a name for themselves on the live music scene by generating a deep sense of community within their fanbase and putting on highly energized, exciting live performances.
They disbanded in 1999, and each member went on to focus on individual projects. Finally, the unit reunited in 2009 and released the LP Time and the River in 2019. Since then, they have continued to tour and write new music. Charlie Loves Our Band will debut at the New Jersey Documentary Film Festival on Friday, May 13.
