The Sweet Remains

Bio:

“THE SWEET REMAINS” is the collaboration of three accomplished singer-songwriters, Rich Price, Greg Naughton, and Brian Chartrand. Rich and Greg first started collaborating together 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 Price (Burlington, VT) has released three solo albums and written music for many high-profile film and television projects including this summer's Macy's ad campaign and a recent episode of MTV's "Real World" that made him the most-viewed "myspace" artist that month. Hailed by Performing Songwriter Magazine as "a magnetic writer and performer", Greg Naughton (NYC) has played his music all across this country in venues ranging from New Orleans dirtiest, to the east room of the White House. His indie released CD 'Demogogue & the Sun Songs' was co-produced by grammy-winning recording artist, Phoebe Snow and several of Greg's songs have gone on to be covered by major label artists(and even produced by Harry Connick Jr). Brian Chartrand's journeys as a multi-talented singer-songwriter and instrumentalist have taken him from Northhampton MA where he grew up to an unlikely home-base in Phoenix, AZ -- where he has emerged as something of a poster-boy for Phoenix's music scene. As a solo-artist and front-man of underground Phoenix heroes 'Ten Dollar Outfit', Brian has released numerous CDs and was recently praised by The Phoenix New Times as "a cross between Nick Drake, Dave Matthews and Radiohead's Thom Yorke." Over the course of several late-night jam-sessions (and despite their obvious geographical challenges), the three discovered a musical blend and kinship that quickly overwhelmed the obstacles (and solo careers) to form The Sweet Remains. The band has been winning fans across the country, headlining venues ranging from L.A.'s "Hotel Cafe" to Austin's SXSW to New York's "Joe's Pub". Their debut CD 'Laurel & Sunset' (2009) is now available at sites like iTunes, CDBaby.com. (More info at www.SweetRemains.com).
