Onstage, O.A.R.'s technical evolution has brought them to a point where Shure UHF-R wireless is a primary player among the components responsible for capturing its sound.
"I love the wireless systems, and it's funny," saxophonist and guitarist Jerry DePizzo says: "we did a small club show at the end of our summer tour last year, and my guitar tech handed me a hardwired guitar. I played it for half the show unplugged because I'm so used to being wireless. Plugging in a cable is just too much work for me these days. It was a funny moment and extremely embarrassing, but very liberating. I've been using the UR stuff and Beta 98 for years. It's really been a part of my sound for almost the entire time I've been in the band."
O.A.R. will tour extensively across North America through spring and summer this year, finally coming to a halt on 5 September in Toronto.
