Hometown Throwdown with Sam Luke Chase Band and Ward Hayden & The Outliers
New England’s South Shore has proven to be fertile ground for remarkable musical talent, producing artists like Ward Hayden and Sam Luke Chase, who have each carved distinctive paths in Americana and country-inspired music. Hayden, with his band The Outliers, brings a rock ‘n’ roll kick to classic country traditions, earning critical acclaim and awards on both sides of the Atlantic while chronicling his life’s journey through his deeply personal ninth album, South Shore. Meanwhile, Chase, a Berklee College of Music graduate and accomplished singer-songwriter, channels influences like James Taylor and Marc Cohn into his self-produced albums, crafted entirely at home. Both artists embody the resilience and creativity of the New England music scene—Hayden with his high-energy, tradition-defying performances and Chase with his introspective storytelling and heartfelt reinterpretations of well-loved songs. Together, they represent the depth and diversity of talent thriving in the region’s Americana and roots music landscape.

The British Invasion Years
More than just the Beatles, this nostalgic musical retrospective spans the entire first wave of the British Invasion era, chock full of the groovy sights and sounds from BOTH sides of the Atlantic!
First, you will hear chart toppers by iconic British groups such as The Zombies, Dave Clark Five, The Rolling Stones, The Who, The Moody Blues, Herman’s Hermits, and many others. As bassist/vocalist Bobby M notes, “We’ve always had a large fan base because of the wide variety of music and nostalgic aspect of our show. But thanks to Beatles Rock Band, the Fab Four’s addition to iTunes & Spotify, plus the fact that many of the era’s songs have recently been featured in TV, film, and commercials, our family-friendly performances truly appeal to both young and the young at heart.”
The American Response follows, with the biggest hits by legendary artists like The Monkees, The Beach Boys, Steppenwolf, Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons, The Mamas and The Papas, Neil Diamond, and The Turtles, to name just a few.
This journey through the 1960s concludes with an extraordinary finale with songs from the four lads that started it all– The Beatles! “When we came up with the idea for a finale, we posed the question, ‘What if the Beatles had to perform their music today only as the four-piece band they were?’”, explains guitarist Lee Scott Howard. The result by this “Fab Foursome” is truly astounding.
For nearly 20 years, The Dave Matthews Tribute Band has been performing sold out shows around the world; playing over 1,500 dates in 46 states and 8 countries. Many go to their live shows with reservations, high expectations, and the burning question, “Do these guys sound like the real Dave Matthews Band?” Almost always the answer is, “Yes!”
Since 2004, The DMTB is the only nationally touring tribute to the Dave Matthews Band. This 5-piece ensemble strives to pay homage to their famous counterparts by matching the excitement, energy, intensity and intimacy of a DMB live show.
While most fans never witnessed the real band before they became the platinum-selling artists they are today, The Dave Matthews Tribute Band prides itself on giving audiences this opportunity at intimate venues around the world.
Beyond mastering the DMB sound and the relentless touring, what separates The Dave Matthews Tribute Band from other cover bands is their passion, love, and respect for DMB and their music. That is what makes you come out of one of their shows saying, “Yeah, they really do sound like the real Dave Matthews Band.”
“The Dave Matthews Tribute Band turned out to exceed its billing as a quality improvisational band that uses Dave Matthews material as themes to improvise. Clearly, this distinguishes them from the other so-called tribute bands. The band is exceptionally tight and produces a solid groove over which the players improvise with hot chops.”- Rick Grant of Entertaining U in Jacksonville, FL

The Sweet Remains
THE SWEET REMAINS is the very rare all-independent band to have nearly 60 MILLION SPOTIFY streams and counting! They’re also unusual on today’s music scene as a band headed by 3 gifted 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 like Jason Mraz, 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 super-groups of the 60’s and 70’s like CSN, the Eagles, Simon & Garfunkel.
In Feb 2020, the band released its 5th major release (and 4th Studio album), MUSIC FILLS THE SPACES. Another collaboration with grammy-winning producer and long-time associate, ANDY ZULLA.
In March 2021, the band added another unique accomplishment with the release of their FEATURE FILM, THE INDEPENDENTS. Written/Directed by band-member, Greg Naughton, and starring the band, THE INDEPENDENTS is a musical comedy-drama inspired by the band’s real-life experiences (and music, of course!). The film debuted at the Santa Barbara Int’l Film Festival earning praise from The Hollywood Reporter who hailed it “An extremely engaging film… Unconventional and sharply written… Deserves to find an audience beyond the festival circuit.” It next won “Best Feature Film” at the Omaha Film festival and has since won audiences and plaudits at great film festivals all over the U.S. (More film info here).
When RICH PRICE (Burlington, VT) – www.richpricemusic.com), GREG NAUGHTON (NYC), and BRIAN CHARTRAND (Phoenix, AZ – www.brianchartrand.com) met for a chance jam-session in a Rhode Island hotel room in 2007, the three instantly recognized a musical blend and kinship that would eventually overcome geography (and solo-careers) to form The Sweet Remains.
Rich and Greg first started collaborating writing songs for Rich’s 2004 Geffen Records debut — a CD that spawned Rich’s single “I’m on my way”, featured on the multi-platinum Shrek 2 soundtrack. Rich has released four solo albums and written music for many high-profile film and television projects. Hailed by Performing Songwriter Magazine as “a magnetic writer and performer”, Greg Naughton’s debut indie-release ‘Demogogue & the Sun Songs’ was co-produced by late grammy-winning recording artist Phoebe Snow. Also an accomplished actor and director, Greg wrote and directed the soon to-be-released feature-film THE INDEPENDENTS inspired by his experiences with Rich and Brian in the music business. Brian Chartrand grew up in MA, but has called Phoenix, AZ home since 2003. In addition to his work with tSR, Brian has independently released numerous albums as a solo-artist and with his AZ band “The Project” and regularly tours in Europe. He is the creator and co-frontman of the touring musical review “Live From Laurel Canyon”, which celebrates the songs and legendary stories of artists who lived in Laurel Canyon, a rock-n-roll neighborhood in the Hollywood Hills, between 1965 and 1976.
After that first jam-session in 2007, Rich, Greg, and Brian began writing and recording together during breaks in each of their solo touring. Eventually they played these new songs for producer Andy Zulla (who has since collaborated with the band on most of their projects) and together they set about recording tSR’s debut CD “Laurel & Sunset”. 4 Studio albums, 1 Live album/DVD and a Feature Film later, The Sweet Remains have won fans all over the globe and been featured in commercials, feature films, television, as well as having their songs covered by numerous artists.
They continue to delight audiences, touring regularly throughout North America and Europe with dynamic live-shows that range from simple core-trio acoustic sets to 6-piece full-band line-ups.
The Joshua Tree pride themselves with their ability to generate a unique musical experience that does not lend itself to impersonations. Without compromising artistic integrity, the band has gone to great lengths to reproduce the distinct sound of one of the world’s most popular rock bands. Playing each song with the same intensity and emotion, Joshua Tree covers all phases of U2’s music catalog.
**PLEASE NOTE: This is a “STANDING” show to accommodate the high energy of the crowd and the band. There will be limited seating on the perimeter of the room which can be purchased as RESERVED SEATING. **
Sam Luke Chase with Chelsea Berry
SAM LUKE CHASE

albums of original music. No stranger to his New England roots and ingenuity,
Chase self-produces his albums performing all the music himself in a spare bedroom
at his house on the South Shore.
With influences like James Taylor, Marc Cohn, Ken Mo, Bruce Hornsby and John
Mayer, Chase has carved out his own brand of Americana music. In 2021, he was a
finalist at the Kerrville Folk Festival’s New Song Competition in Kerrville, TX, a
rite of passage for many singer-songwriters. He’s also performed at Falcon Ridge
Folk Festival (Emerging Artist Showcase) and Black Bear Americana Music
Festival, and had the privilege of opening for national acts like America, Tower of
Power, Marc Cohn and Lori McKenna.
Chase graduated from Berklee College of Music in 2008 and quickly launched into
the New England gig circuit. After many years of performing and perfecting his
music, he’s become known for his original songs and also as one of those rare
performers who is able to take a well-known song and make it his own. Whether it
be a country, folk, blues or pop tune, Sam reimagines it with his passionate, raspy
vocals and crisp guitar chops.
