New York City
What do you call a band whose 20-year career spans sold-out stands at both Madison Square Garden and Red Rocks Amphitheatre, millions of albums sold over the course of nine full-length releases, and multiple chart-busting entries? In the case of O.A.R., two simple words suffice: “The Mighty.”
That’s the best way to sum up the Maryland quintet: Marc Roberge (lead vocals, rhythm guitar), Richard On (lead guitar, backing vocals), Chris Culos (drums), Benj Gershman (bass), and Jerry DePizzo (saxophone, guitar, backing vocals), with MikelParis (keys, backing vocals, percussion) and Jon Lampley (trumpet, backing vocals).
