Driven by strong lyrical and melodic writing, their songs easily appeal to fans of modern folk-rockers like Jason Mraz, Ray Lamontagne, and John Mayer. They have been featured in commercials, feature films, and television, as well as having their songs covered by numerous artists. Their lush harmonies harken back to super-groups of the 60s and 70s like Crosby, Stills, & Nash, the Eagles, Simon & Garfunkel, winning them fans all over the globe.
This performance is suitable for ages six and up.
An unusual band on today’s music scene, tSR is headed by 3 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 such as 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 the so-called “super-groups” of the 60’s and 70’s like CSN, the Eagles, Simon & Garfunkel.
It was a chance jam session in a Rhode Island hotel room in 2007 that convinced Rich Price, Greg Naughton & Brian Chartrand to form The Sweet Remains. They instantly recognized a musical blend and kinship that would eventually overcome the challenges of solo-careers and geography (they reside in VT, CT and AZ respectively) and set about writing their first album together “Laurel & Sunset”, which was released in 2008. They’ve since released 3 studio albums together, a live DVD & CD, toured all over the U.S. and Europe, and just finished principal shooting for a forthcoming feature film due out in 2017 that is loosely based on their experiences together and in the music business.
In 2014, their music started to gain traction with online music-sharers and major streaming services, and has since racked up almost 20 Million Spotify plays (over 325,000 monthly listeners) and garnered this little indieband fans from all over the globe.

Utah Valley University acknowledges that we gather on land sacred to all Indigenous people who came before us in this vast crossroads region. The University is committed to working in partnership—as enacted through education and community activities—with Utah’s Native Nations comprising: the San Juan Southern Paiute, Paiute Indian Tribe of Utah, Uintah & Ouray Reservation of the Northern Ute, Skull Valley Goshute, Confederated Tribes of the Goshute Reservation, Northwestern Band of Shoshone Nation, Hopi Tribe, Navajo Nation, Ute Mountain Ute-White Mesa Community, and urban Indian communities. We recognize these Native Nations and their continued connections with traditional homelands, mountains, rivers, and lakes as well as their sovereign relationships with state and federal governments. We honor their collective memory and continued physical and spiritual presence. We revere their resilience and example in preserving their connections to the Creator and to all their relations, now and in the future.
With this statement comes responsibility and accountability. We resolve to follow
up with actionable items to make the School of the Arts at UVU and The Noorda Center
for the Performing Arts an inclusive, equitable, and just space for all. There is
much work to be done, and we are committed to putting these words into practice.
