King Center Presents O.A.R. Oct 23

King Center for the Performing Arts
O.A.R

Some things are built to last. During the course of its two decades of making records, O.A.R.’s lead singer and primary songwriter Marc Roberge; drummer, Chris Culos; guitarist, Richard On; bassist, Benj Gershman and saxophonist/guitarist, Jerry DePizzo, has created and maintained a sort of a parallel universe. In effect hiding in plain sight from the world outside, the band fills arenas and amphitheaters as it crafts and releases relatable songs with big pop hooks with all of this activity going down completely apart from the mainstream. Within this universe, these songs are bona fide hits, and the band members are superstars.
Now, 20 years, endless shows and 13 albums later, O.A.R. has assembled a comprehensive career overview: XX ; a 24-track, half-studio and half-live collection, which shines a light on key moments from this vital, prolific band’s recording career. Their hits include, Shattered, That Was a Crazy Game of Poker, Love and Memories and About Mr. Brown.
