Asbury Jams: Todd Sheaffer (Railroad Earth/From Good Homes) w/ John Gallagher Jr.21+
Todd Sheaffer is a singer-songwriter and guitarist best known as the frontman of Railroad Earth and the earlier roots-rock band From Good Homes. Hailing from New Jersey, Sheaffer blends folk, rock, and bluegrass influences, earning acclaim for his heartfelt songwriting and distinctive voice. After From Good Homes gained traction in the 1990s with their “Hick-Pop” sound, Sheaffer co-founded Railroad Earth in 2001, helping shape the band’s improvisational, Americana-driven style. He remains an influential figure in the jam and roots music scenes, continuing to tour and record with both bands.

John Gallagher Jr. is a Brooklyn based singer-songwriter who has been seen on stage and screens both small and large.
Notable film and TV roles include The Newsroom, Short Term 12, 10 Cloverfield Lane, and Hush. He won a Tony Award for his performance in Duncan Sheik’s hit musical Spring Awakening, portrayed the Jesus of Suburbia in the Broadway adaptation of Green Day’s Grammy winning rock opera American Idiot, and most recently starred in Swept Away - a new musical featuring songs by The Avett Brothers. But when it comes to his music, that’s a bit more personal.
2021 saw the online self release of 8th and Jane, a short but sweet 8 song sophomore effort. It’s a fast and fierce postcard jammed with power pop rock and roll numbers, smoothed out by several soul searching acoustic ballads. An almost tragicomic blend of the rootsy bravado and vulnerable heart-on-sleeve reflection that has become a staple of his music.
