For a long time now (almost 10 years) O.A.R. (of a revolution) has been my favorite band. They are from my home state of Maryland, and I went to the same high school as 4 of the guys in the band. They describe their music as island roots rock vibe. It's been fun to watch the band evolve over the years with each album having a style of its own. Check out the music player on my blog for some samples.
Anyways, so O.A.R. is finally coming back to Utah. They've been here twice and I was out of the state for both shows, so I'm anxious to get out to this one. And it's a lot smaller venue than they normally play so it'll be fun to be close to the stage. If you're in the area check out the details of the show. It'd be great to see everyone there.
