(SACRAMENTO, CA) - Get ready for an energetic night of music as the California State Fair presents O.A.R. live in concert on Friday, July 25, at 8 p.m. as part of the Toyota Concert Series. Presale tickets for newsletter subscribers will be available on Monday, March 10, with public sales on Tuesday, March 11.
O.A.R. might just be music’s biggest, best kept secret. The platinum-certified Rockville, MD band has quietly sold-out multiple shows at Madison Square Garden, filled Red Rocks Amphitheater a dozen times, earned platinum and gold plaques, lit up the Times Square New Year’s Eve celebration, and built one of the most committed fanbases in the country.
The group—Marc Roberge [lead vocals, guitar], Richard On [lead guitar, backing vocals], Chris Culos [drums], Benj Gershman [bass], and Jerry DePizzo [saxophone, guitar, backing vocals] accompanied by Mikel Paris [keys, backing vocals, percussion], and Jon Lampley [trumpet, backing vocals]—recently embarked on a headlining US tour with special guests Fitz and the Tantrums and Ripe.
“Known for their signature blend of rock, reggae, and jam-band influences, O.A.R. promises to deliver a show filled with fan-favorite hits and new music”, said Tom Martinez, CEO of Cal Expo & California State Fair. “O.A.R. is a talented group of musicians that will get the crowd on their feet and singing along to their popular hits.”
Reserved tickets can be purchased at www.CalExpoStateFair.com. The California State Fair runs from July 11 to July 27 at the Cal Expo fairgrounds. Gates open at 4 p.m. Monday through Thursday and at 10 a.m. Friday through Sunday.
