For nearly three decades, O.A.R. has been synonymous with summer vibes and soul-stirring music, captivating audiences with their unique blend of rock and roll. At the heart of this iconic band is Jerry DePizzo, a multi-talented saxophonist and guitarist, whose passion and skill have helped shape the sound of O.A.R.
In this special episode of 'Love in the Land,' host Austin welcomes Jerry DePizzo for an intimate conversation. They'll dive into the remarkable journey of O.A.R., from their humble beginnings in a basement in Rockville, Maryland, to their ascendancy as one of the most celebrated names in music.
