The members of O.A.R. first came together in Rockville, Maryland in the basement of drummer Chris Culos' childhood home. As a young group of musicians, they were the prototype of the modern, self-starting band--taking charge of their fate by working the internet and building an identifiable sound. The band's music, a rock/reggae fusion, consisted of songs that were fully accessible, yet teasingly elusive. Attracting fans all across the country, the band members toured relentlessly, pushing their album sales through boundless dedication and word-of-mouth appeal, never waiting for the industry to catch up.
By the time the band had reached their 10 year anniversary together, they had sold over 1.2 million albums and performed in front of over 1 million people. Their most recent studio record, Stories of a Stranger, produced radio favorites "Love and Memories" and "Heard the World" as well as mtvU's Most Downloaded Video of 2006, "Lay Down." The band followed up the successful release with a live double disc CD and DVD set, Live From Madison Square Garden, recorded during the band's second sold-out performance at the prestigious arena.
Earlier this year, the band holed themselves up in a studio in Los Angeles to work on their next project, All Sides. The album, due out July 15th, is certain to be yet another milestone in O.A.R.'s storied career.
The last OAR show we went to was at Jones Beach, so that was a much bigger crowd than Bonner Springs. But, we still had a blast! Was about three feet from the stage the entire show and sang along with every song. Anyone who hasn't seen an OAR show is missing out big time.
I loved all the Columbus songs being played back to back. War Song, Fallout and On My Way were all amazing as well. The whole show was incredible and tons of fun. I would have appreciated hearing a little bit more of their old stuff, but I respect a band for promoting an album. Definitely will be seeing them again (for the 7th time).
I could spend all my time enjoying O.A.R. at the Red Rocks Ampitheatre. They were amazing!! It was great to listen to how they have anticipated this event their entire career, to play at the Red Rocks Ampitheater and we got to be there for it. They put on a great concert and were really in tune to their crowd. Brett Dennan was an awesome opening act.
Great opener with brett dennen, great weather, great venue!
The concert was amazing. They performed just as I would have expected. The crowd was loving every minute and I don't believe there was an empty seat to be found!!!
O.A.R. put on a very good show and of course Red Rocks Amphitheater is always a great venue for any concert-lover like myself! Thanks for the great show!
GREAT CONCERT!!!!!!! The musicians were wonderful. The show was wonderful. The venue was wonderful. The weather made it crazy. WAY TOO MUCH pot smoking going on in the crowd. Not all of us want a contact high. It was gross.
Gorgeous night - OAR is great live. LOVE LOVE LOVE Brett Dennen.
was a little disapointed with the song selection, but overall was a good show. No "heard the world" which is always a good concert song. "hey girl" they chose to play accoustic. there are plenty of slower songs that work accoustic, "hey girl" shouldn't be one of them.
o.a.r. always puts on a great show for the crowd to dance, sing, and enjoy some beers.
That was one of the best shows I have ever seen. I'll never forget it!!!! They are such a great band and I can't wait for them to come back.
The show was great. The new setup at Sandstone means that you can go all the way to the front row with a GA ticket. The band was awesome, very energetic and entertaining. Parking was quick and easy with time for some tailgating before the show. Overall a great experience.
They bring a great amount of energy and relate to the crowd.
Overall the show and the venue at Red Rocks was awesome, although I was a little disappointed in the crowd participation. Mark has several songs that he leaves open for the crowd to contribute,but the crowd seemed as if this was there first OAR show and didn't do there part. With this being said Marc and Co. put on another great show and would recommend anyone going to a show the first time to listen to few live recordings and see where your part comes in. Thanks Marc loved it!!
OAR is a great band. they know how to put on an awesome show that entertains the fans. They should play at red rocks every year!
I thought the concert wast actually pretty good. Oar usually doesnt put on a great live show and they actually compiled a very good show that night. I would reccomend it to anyone wanting to see them.
I have been to the OAR summer show for the past 5 years and this was one of the best. There was a small, but intense crowd and the atmosphere was buzzing. I will be back next year.
Outdoor concerts are unbelievable...if it's nice. The weather was tough, plus it was a Sunday night after a long weekend. They played a lot of songs I didn't know.
