Already in the midst of a spring headlining run, O.A.R. has rolled out a slew of summer tour dates, and has signed on to open a few shows for the Dave Matthews Band .
The group, which continues to back last year's "Stories of a Stranger," will wrap up the current leg of its tour in early May, and is then scheduled to take a month of before resuming its roadwork with a June 8 show in Phoenix. The itinerary, which is included below, is capped by Sept. 1-2 stint opening for the Dave Matthews Band at the Gorge Amphitheatre in George, WA.
O.A.R. will also open for the Dave Matthews Band once in late June, and three times during the month of August. Details are included below.
Released last October, "Stories of a Stranger" was produced by former Talking Heads member Jerry Harrison, whose recent credits include albums from Live, The Verve Pipe and The Von Bondies. Recording sessions took place in Virginia, California and New York City.
Guests on the set include keyboardist Bernie Worrell (Parliament) and singer Toby Lightman, who lends backing vocals to the album's first single, "The Stranger," and additional track "Heard the World." The group also collaborated with producer/songwriter Glen Ballard (Alanis Morissette, Dave Matthews Band) on the cuts "Program Director" and "Love and Memories," the latter of which is streaming at O.A.R.'s website.
