“We've had the privilege of touring the U.S. for several years and one thing we always wanted to do was stay put for a few days and enjoy some of our favorite cities,” said lead singer Marc Roberge. “We're playing some of our favorite venues and for the first time performing at the Bowery Ballroom, which has always been on our wish list. We’re excited to dig in and play through the catalogue.”

Each venue on the ‘O.A.R Extended Stay’ tour was hand picked by the band members of O.A.R. as they hold special significance. The Bowery Ballroom shows mark the band’s first official headlining dates in New York City since their three previous sold-out shows at Madison Square Garden and their first time performing up close and personal with fans at the intimate venue. The 9:30 Club in Washington, DC is where the band recorded their first live album, the Gold certified Any Time Now, and the last time the band performed at the Theatre of Living Arts in Philadelphia was in 2001. These special ‘O.A.R Extended Stay’ dates are in addition to the band’s recently announced sixteen date winter tour kicking off January 25th and making stops in major cities including Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, Chicago, and Minneapolis.
