On June 3, they were the house band for the Today Show with Kathie Lee & Hoda, which included a performance of their single “Peace” accompanied by the Mt. Carmel-Holy Rosary School of East Harlem (check it out below).
Later that week, the band visited with the famed Staten Island elementary school chorus at PS 22 in a rendition of “Peace.”
O.A.R. also kicked off a national concert tour with Phillip Phillips this month. View the dates below.
Plus, the band’s new album The Rockville LP is available now. Inspired by their hometown of Rockville, Maryland, The Rockville LP showcases a much more introspective and personal side to the band.
