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.
Named after a judge’s explanation for leniency after the young band broke into a club to finish their set, the band “from good homes” released five albums during their career-three 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 &amp; The Blowfish, Blues Traveler and many more. Bringing together rock, jazz, folk, celtic and jam-band influences under one umbrella, rooted in 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”.

Queensrÿche first burst onto the music scene in 1982 with the release of their self-titled 4 song EP “Queensrÿche”. They very quickly gained international recognition and performed to sold out audiences around the world. With the follow up first full length album “The Warning” in 1984, and the groundbreaking 1986 release of “Rage For Order”, Queensrÿche continued to prove their worldwide dominance as one of the most respected and creative bands of the 80’s. In 1988 the band released yet another monumental album “Operation: Mindcrime”, which would go on to become one of the TOP 10 best-selling concept records of all time, and set the stage for continued sold out performances around the world. With the release of the critically acclaimed and commercially successful “Empire” in 1991, the band earned multiple Grammy Award nominations and won the MTV “viewer’s choice” award for the #1 chart topping hit “Silent Lucidity”. During the next 10 years, the band continued to release albums and tour the world to sold out audiences. Queensrÿche has sold over 30 million albums worldwide and have continued to break new ground and push their creative process. The current lineup—Todd LaTorre, Michael Wilton, Eddie Jackson, Mike Stone and Casey Grillo—continues this legacy while exploring new musical horizons.

COMMOTION pride themselves on their unparalleled attention to detail and commitment to faithfully reproducing the iconic CCR sound. From the soulful voice of Steve McLain to the mesmerizing guitar solos of Ryan, the band brings every riff, melody, and rhythm to life with astonishing precision. Ryan is a platinum-selling musician with a Hall of Fame Lifetime Achievement Award, having recorded and performed with superstars such as Carly Simon, Paul McCartney, Elton John, Mick Jagger, Cat Stevens, James Taylor, Rod Stewart, Jim Croce and many more.

McLain possesses a vocal prowess that rivals the one and only Jim Fogerty. With his husky timbre, emotive delivery and uncanny ability to recreate the raw energy of Fogerty, be transported back to the era where CCR ruled the airwaves. McLaine, no stranger to live performance, has spent over 20 years wowing fans with his emotionally charged vocals, and an uncanny ability to read an audience and deliver exactly what brings them to their feet. 
CCR was known for their infectious beats, and drummer, Mark Ellis and bassist, George Foster, deliver with unrivaled intensity. With every song, feel the pulsating energy that defined the heart and soul of CCR's classic tunes. Dance, stomp and sing along with the infectious rhythms that shaped rock history. Ellis is a multi-instrumentalist, has worked as a staff writer for Atlanta Artist Records, and a recording artist with EMI Electrola as a member of DaVibe. He also toured extensively with the Chicago tribute band, The KC Transit Authority.
Foster’s bass groove is so deep and infectious. Between stages and studios large and small since the 1970s, he’s brought the booty to blues, country, reggae, world, jazz, folk, pop and rock.
