This event is over.
The Sweet Remains is the unusual band on today's music scene to be headed by three gifted singer-songwriters, each of whom contribute to the writing and three-part harmonies that define the band's sound. They are also the very rare independent band to claim over 30 million Spotify plays worldwide (and counting).
Driven by strong lyrical and melodic writing, their songs easily appeal to fans of modern folk-rockers like Jason Mraz, Ray Lamontagne, and John Mayer. However, it is their lush harmonies that distinguish tSR from the throngs of guitar-toting troubadours and harken back to super-groups of the 60's and 70's like CSN, the Eagles, and Simon & Garfunkel.
2018 added a feature film to the band's unique accomplishments. The Independents, a musical comedy-drama created by and starring the band, premiered February 3 at the distinguished Santa Barbara International Film Festival to the plaudits of festival-goers and the Hollywood Reporter, which praised the film as 鈥淓xtremely engaging鈥 Unconventional and sharply written鈥 Deserves to find an audience beyond the festival circuit.鈥
Rich Price (Burlington, Vermont), Greg Naughton (New York City) and Brian Chartrand (Phoenix, Arizona) are the Sweet Remains. Rich and Greg first collaborated on Rich's 2004 Geffen Records debut鈥攁 CD that spawned his single 鈥淚'm On My Way,鈥 featured on the multi-platinum Shrek 2 soundtrack. Hailed by Performing Songwriter Magazine as 鈥渁 magnetic writer and performer,鈥 Greg has played his music all across the country in venues ranging from New Orleans' grittiest to the east room of the White House. Brian's journeys as an internationally touring singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist have taken him from South Hadley, Massachusetts, where he grew up, to Phoenix, where he splits his time as a solo-artist and front-man of the Project and Live from Laurel Canyon.
The band's releases include the debut album Laurel & Sunset (2008); a live CD/DVD titled Live at Canal Room (2012); a second studio album, North & Prospect (2013); and a third studio album, Night Songs (2015). Their music has more than 30 million plays on Spotify and has been winning the praise of audiences and critics across the United States. and Europe. (USA Today selected it as a 鈥減ick-of-the-week鈥; the Boston Herald said, 鈥淚t's been a long time since three-part harmonies this lush were yoked to songs this melodically gorgeous鈥).
