You’ll bask in the glow of three-part harmonies from folk-rock trio The Sweet Remains. The band is Rich Price, Greg Naughton and Brian Chartrand, all singer-songwriters in their own right. They wound up in a spontaneous jam session back in 2007 and felt an immediate spark that led to the formation of The Sweet Remains. Four albums have been released, and the band has amassed more than 50 million Spotify streams, thanks in large part to the gorgeous tune “Moving in Slow Motion” from the 2008 album “Laurel & Sunset.”
