Press continues to praise the trio -- USA TODAY chose the band's cover of The Police classic 'So Lonely' as a LISTEN UP MUSIC PICK, and praised the band's “sumptuous three- part harmonies." TIME OUT NY noted their “hushed, smooth folk-pop," THE BOSTON HERALD buzzed “it's been a long time since three-part harmonies this lush were yoked to songs as melodically gorgeous as these," and METROMIX said the band “will remind you of Crosby, Stills & Nash, Van Morrison, Guster or Paul Simon." While on tour, local press has embraced them as well, with the Burlington Free Press describing them as a “rootsy-rock band" and The Norwalk Hour praising the trio as they “harmonize their way through some incredible tunes." More coverage follows below.

The band is a collaboration between accomplished singer/songwriters Rich Price, Greg Naughton and Brian Chartrand. With three-part harmonies and a distinctive, modern sound, The Sweet Remains deliver an eminently listenable folk-rock debut that finds its home somewhere on the road where Wilco meets CSN. 'Laurel & Sunset' is available now via iTunes, Amazon and most online outlets, and features songs written by each band member as well as inspired co-writes. TSR has proven that in a time when the music scene is dominated by solo artists and bands driven primarily by one writer and singer, a multi-lead-singer group can sound both familiar and completely fresh.



More About The Sweet Remains: Rich Price and Greg Naughton first started collaborating as they wrote songs for Price's 2004 Geffen Records debut -- a CD that spawned the single “I'm On My Way", featured on the multi-platinum Shrek 2 soundtrack. Price (Burlington, VT) has released two other solo albums and written music for many high- profile film and television projects, including MTV's “Real World" last year - which lead to him becoming the most-viewed “MySpace" artist that particular month. Hailed by Performing Songwriter Magazine as “a magnetic writer and performer", Naughton (NYC) has played his music all across this country in venues ranging from New Orleans' grittiest clubs to the east room of The White House. His acclaimed indie debut 'Demogogue & the Sun Songs' was co-produced by Grammy-winner Phoebe Snow. Chartrand's journeys as a talented singer-songwriter and instrumentalist have taken him from Northampton, 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 frontman 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." The trio has been winning fans across the country since 2007, headlining venues ranging from L.A.'s “Hotel Cafe" to Austin's SXSW to New York's “Joe's Pub". 'Laurel & Sunset' marks their debut full-length CD. The band came together by happenstance: After a chance jam-session brought these three artists together, they were so inspired by the sound and kinship they discovered that they began recording songs together at Rich's Los Angeles apartment on the corner of Laurel and Sunset (hence the CD name). Producer-mixer, Andy Zulla (Kelly Clarkson, Rod Stewart, etc) heard the tracks and dug it so much he came on board to help mix and produce several songs.
