Presented by the Sun Valley Center, The Sweet Remains—Rich Price, Greg Naughton and Brian Chartrand—will perform for one night at The Argyros.
“During the course of a show, they’ll often sing a cappella, which is part of the history of the group,” said Kristine Bretall, The Center’s director of Performing Arts. “Local Middlebury College grads should know that both Greg Naughton and Rich Price graduated from Middlebury, and while they were each involved in theater there, Greg was also a member of the college’s male a-cappella group, the Dissipated Eight. His vocal chops come out in the band’s three-part harmonies that hearken back to the incomparable Crosby, Stills & Nash.”
The Sweet Remains’ educational outreach activities are supported, in part, with funds provided by the Western States Arts Federation, the Idaho Commission on the Arts and the National Endowment for the Arts.
For tickets, visit sunvalleycenter.org or call (208) 726-9491. All seats are reserved.
