“Richie Sambora announced us at Red Rocks as ‘The Mighty O.A.R.’ a few years back,” said O.A.R. member Jerry DePizzo. “Those two words just stuck with us, and Marc suggested we use it as the album title. We have a great sense of pride in the career we’ve had up to this point. The term wraps up who the band is in 2019. It feels good to us.”
