O.A.R.

O.A.R. is one of my all time favorite bands! I have so many good memories from their music that I could go on and on about! Unfortunately I have only seen them once but it was a night I will never forget; January 27, 2007 at Madison Square Garden.

I am not usually a fan of huge venues like this, as I usually feel like smaller venues are more intimate and it’s a more emotional experience, but this was one of the best nights of my life. O.A.R. hit so many of their classics that night including my all time favorite “That Was A Crazy Game Of Poker” as their last song before the encore. The energy was incredible and the entire concert just had an overall feel great type of attitude to it.

As a musician, hearing Marc Roberge’s voice is like tasting chocolate for the first time. I can only wish I could have vocal abilities like that. Their music is generally just so uplifting and healthy.

If you are a fan of rock, you need to check this band out. As I said before, you just can’t listen to O.A.R. without feeling incredible. I give this concert a 10/10 experience and thinking about it now, I am upset I haven’t been able to go to another O.A.R. show.
