About this concert
Acclaimed folk-rock trio The Sweet Remains return to touring in support of their highly anticipated fifth studio album, Embers—a mesmerizing collection of ten new songs that showcase their signature acoustic-driven, three-part harmonies. Produced by longtime collaborator and Grammy-winner Andy Zulla, the album features standout tracks like When The World Slowed Down, You Say, Don’t Count Me Out, and the title track Ember. The band's sound seamlessly blends into contemporary playlists alongside artists like John Mayer, Ray LaMontagne, and Jason Mraz, while evoking the timeless harmonies of Crosby, Stills & Nash, Simon & Garfunkel, and The Eagles.
A rare independent success, The Sweet Remains have surpassed 65 million streams on Spotify, earning a devoted global following. Their award-winning feature film, The Independents, a heartfelt and humorous look at their journey in music, is now streaming on Amazon Prime, Tubi, Google Play and other major platforms. The Hollywood Reporter hailed it as “an extremely engaging film,” while the Los Angeles Times called it “a warm and welcoming celebration of music…the musical numbers are frequent and fabulous.”
Formed by Rich Price (Burlington, VT), Greg Naughton (NYC), and Brian Chartrand (Phoenix, AZ), The Sweet Remains is driven by three accomplished singer-songwriters. Rich Price, whose song I’m On My Way was featured on the multi-platinum Shrek 2 soundtrack, has released multiple solo albums and written for film and TV. Early in his career, he was signed to RCA and later Geffen Records. Greg Naughton earned acclaim for his debut indie release, Demagogue & The Sun Songs, praised by Performing Songwriter Magazine as “a magnetic writer and performer.” That album was co-produced by the late Grammy-winning artist Phoebe Snow. Greg’s work extends beyond music—he co-wrote and directed The Independents, inspired by the band’s real-life experiences, and often collaborates with his wife, Tony-winner Kelli O’Hara. Brian Chartrand, a celebrated Phoenix-based songwriter, has released numerous solo albums and tours internationally, including as the creator of Live From Laurel Canyon, a critically acclaimed tribute to folk-rock legends like CSN, Neil Young, and Joni Mitchell.
With Embers, The Sweet Remains continue their legacy, following in the footsteps of their beloved catalog: Music Fills The Spaces (2020), Night Songs (2015), North & Prospect (2012), and Laurel & Sunset (2008).

the Sweet Remains Biography
Celebrating 10 years and over 35 MILLION Spotify plays in 2018, THE SWEET REMAINS is the unusual band on today's music scene to be headed by 3 gifted singer-songwriters, each of whom contribute to the writing and 3-part harmonies that define the band's sound.
Driven by strong lyrical and melodic writing, their songs easily appeal to fans of modern folk-rockers like Ray Lamontagne, and John Mayer. However, it is their lush harmonies, that distinguish tSR from the throngs of guitar-toting troubadors and harken back to super-groups of the 60's and 70's like CSN, the Eagles, Simon & Garfunkel.
They plan to release one single per month for ten months, beginning Feb 2019 with "Music Fills The Spaces."
2019 adds a FEATURE FILM to the band's unique accomplishments. THE INDEPENDENTS is a musical comedy-drama created by and starring the Sweet Remains. It debuted at the 2018 Santa Barbara Int'l Film Festival to the plaudits of festival-goers and The Hollywood Reporter, which praised the film as "Extremely engaging... Unconventional and sharply written... Deserves to find an audience beyond the festival circuit." Full review here. The Independents has since won invites and audiences at great film festivals all over the world & plans general release for 2019. (Upcoming festivals/ film info here).
When RICH PRICE (Burlington, VT) - www.richpricemusic.com), GREG NAUGHTON (NYC), and BRIAN CHARTRAND (Phoenix, AZ - www.brianchartrand.com) met for a chance jam-session in a Rhode Island hotel room in 2008, the three instantly recognized a musical blend and kinship that would eventually overcome geography (and solo-careers) to form The Sweet Remains.
Rich and Greg first started collaborating writing songs for Rich's 2004 Geffen Records debut -- a CD that spawned Rich's single "I'm on my way", featured on the multi-platinum Shrek 2 soundtrack. Rich has released four solo albums and written music for many high-profile film and television projects. Hailed by Performing Songwriter Magazine as "a magnetic writer and performer", Greg Naughton's debut indie-release 'Demogogue & the Sun Songs' was co-produced by late grammy-winning recording artist Phoebe Snow. Also an accomplished actor and director, Greg wrote and directed the soon to-be-released feature-film THE INDEPENDENTS based on his experiences with Rich and Brian in the music business. Brian Chartrand grew up in MA, but has called Phoenix, AZ home since 2003. In addition to his work with tSR, Brian has independently released numerous albums as a solo-artist and with his AZ band "The Project" and regularly tours in Europe. He is the creator and co-frontman of the touring musical review "Live From Laurel Canyon", which celebrates the songs and legendary stories of artists who lived in Laurel Canyon, a rock-n-roll neighborhood in the Hollywood Hills, between 1965 and 1976.
After that first jam-session in 2008, Rich, Greg, and Brian began writing and recording together during breaks in each of their solo touring. Eventually they played these new songs for producer Andy Zulla (who has since collaborated with the band on most of their projects) and together they set about recording tSR’s debut CD “Laurel & Sunset”. 3 Studio albums, 1 Live DVD and a Feature Film later, The Sweet Remains music has won fans all over the globe and been featured in commercials, feature films, television and been covered by numerous artists. They continue to delight audiences, touring regularly throughout North America and Europe with dynamic live-shows that range from simple core-trio acoustic sets to 6-piece full-band line-ups.
