O.A.R. Tickets

Of A Revolution...

The band was founded in 1996 by Marc Roberge and Chris Culos, Richard On and Benj Gerhsman whom all attended high school together and college at Ohio State University. While at college, they met Jerry DePizzo. Gaining their success through networks of college students and word-of-mouth alone, the band played as many shows as they could. No longer just playing fraternity and sorority parties, they expanded to all audiences. They recieved attention when their third album, Risen, released in 2003, debuted at number eleven on the Billboard top internet sales charts. Their next and fourth album, Any Time Now, debuted on the Billboard Top 200 at #156 in 2004. Their most popular songs remain to be the anthems from their earlier days: “That Was a Crazy Game of Poker”, “City on Down”, and “Night Shift”. In 2006, the band sold out Madison Square Garden and thus made their debut in the New York Times. They have done things such as tour with Dave Matthews Band, Gomez, and Matt Nathason, performed at the 2006 Major League Baseball All Star Game, and a Central Park rally to benefit Darfur. They are currently on their “All Sides Tour” which kicked off at the Bonnaroo Music Festival in Manchester, Tennessee. They are promoting their latest album All Sides.
