O.A.R.

It’s unbelievable that O.A.R. are still together thirty years after their first gig at an eighth-grade talent show—but these musicians are no strangers to “unbelievable.” They’ve quietly shattered expectations at every turn. Their journey began in Maryland and has taken them around the world with sold-out shows at Madison Square Garden and Red Rocks Amphitheater, over 1 billion streams, and multiplatinum success. Building an expansive catalog since 1997’s The Wanderer, they’ve earned RIAA Gold certifications, three Top 15 Billboard 200 debuts, and collaborated with everyone from Robert Redford and Goo Goo Dolls to DJ Premier. 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 celebration of music and community. Working alongside partner Tim Sweetwood and his team, they helped create a festival that’s become a cornerstone of Maryland’s cultural calendar, making a lasting 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 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.
