Folk-Rock Trio The Sweet Remains at the Kate May 29

Press release

OLD SAYBROOK, CT - The Katharine Hepburn Cultural Arts Center, “the Kate”, welcomes folk-rock trio The Sweet Remains on Thursday, May 29, 2025 at 7:30 pm.

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.”

Formed by Rich Price, Greg Naughton, and Brian Chartrand, 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.
