The Sweet Remains
The Sweet Remains is an American folk-rock band founded by singer/songwriters Rich Price, Greg Naughton, and Brian Chartrand. Their independently released 2008 debut Laurel & Sunset (produced in collaboration with Andy Zulla) nonetheless reached a global audience when Putumayo World Music featured their single “Dance With Me” on Putumayo's popular Acoustic Cafe compilation. The band's follow up release, North & Prospect, garnered a USA TODAY “pick of the week” feature for the song “Better Ways to Spend The Day," further broadening the reach of their music and reputation for creating "lush 3-part harmonies” over strong lyrical and melodic writing. Also in 2019, the band began releasing singles via social media, including "Music Fills the Spaces" (released Feb 1, 2019) and "Howling Wolf" (March 1, 2019) with announced plan to release one per month through 2019 before compiling them on a full-length release.
In February 2018 the band starred in the film
