Music Fest: O.A.R

Welcome to music fest where you can enjoy music from groups that are not constantly on the radio.

O.A.R stands for Of A Revolution. This band was formed when the guys were high school in Rockville Maryland. They later met Jerry (guitar/saxophone player) ar Ohio State University. The band is made up of the lead singer and guitar player: Marc Roberge, lead guitar player: Richard On, Bass guitar player: Benj Gershaman, saxophone, guitar player: Jerry DePizzo, and drummer: Chris Culos. All their songs consist of catchy beats and lyrics which bring you to a place that makes you want to dance and flow. Blame it on their rock beats mixed with jazz and reggae.

Their first album The Wander became big on college campuses. Without any real marketing their songs became hits with their fans by word of mouth. One of the greatest things about O.A.R is that they would encourage the audience to record their shows. This is what helped spread their music around. They now have 7 studio albums and 4 live albums.

In 2006 O.A.R sold out Madison Square Garden, which is huge for group that did not get a lot of air time on the radio. 18000 fans were there to enjoy one of the hardest working bands in the business.

And now one of the first songs they ever wrote:

A song from there new album King

I would love to know of any groups you listen to that are not constantly on the radio.
