It’s unbelievable that O.A.R. are still together thirty years since their first gig at an eighth grade talent show, but these musicians are no strangers to “unbelievable.” In fact, they’ve quietly shattered expectations at every turn over the last thirty years. Their journey may have started in Maryland, but it’s taken them around the world with multiple sold-out shows at Madison Square Garden and Red Rocks Amphitheatre, north of 1 billion streams, and multiplatinum success. Creating an expansive catalog beginning with 1997’s The Wanderer, they earned RIAA Gold certifications, three Top 15 Billboard 200 debuts, and collaborated with everyone from Robert Redford and Goo Goo Dolls to Wiz Khalifa and DJ Premier. Their latest album, The Arcade, features the fan favorite “In the Clouds.” O.A.R. members, Marc Roberge and Jerry DePizzo, are also founding partners of the Oceans Calling Festival in Ocean City, Maryland, a world-class, multi-day celebration of music and community. Working alongside and driven by their talented partner Tim Sweetwood and his team, they helped create a festival that has quickly become a cornerstone of Maryland’s cultural calendar, making a lasting positive impact on the community. “The true reward isn’t just in the music, it’s in the way it uplifts the community and shines a light on the great state of Maryland,” says Jerry DePizzo. Through their charity, Heard The World Fund, O.A.R. have raised millions for education, sustainability, and pediatric cancer causes. Heading into their 30th year in 2026, Marc Roberge, Richard On, Chris Culos, and Jerry DePizzo are still having a blast as brothers—and it shows every time they take the stage.
