O.A.R., Gavin DeGraw, and Lisa Loeb in Concert at Stage AE (Thurs., 7/23/26)

What began as teenagers passing time in drummer Chris Culos’ basement soon became O.A.R.’s first album, The Wanderer. Now, after 30 years together—years that included several platinum records, sold-out shows at Madison Square Garden, and nine more studio albums—the ever-evolving rockers (O.A.R. = “Of a Revolution”) visit Pittsburgh on their Three Decades Tour. You may hear some songs from their new album due out in September, Three Tinted Windows, of which they’ve already previewed the title track. And you’ll definitely hear two other outstanding artists touring with O.A.R. Singer-songwriter Gavin DeGraw jetted to fame when a single from his 2003 debut album Chariot, the rollicking “I Don’t Want to Be,” was chosen as the theme music for CW’s teen drama “One Tree Hill.” Since then, DeGraw has displayed a range of styles and moods, as in “Face the River” from his 2022 album of that name. And rounding out the bill is the uniquely multitalented Lisa Loeb. Her early hit “Stay (I Missed You)” remains a fan favorite to this day. Loeb has acted in reality TV and in horror films, written children’s books and released music for kids, and voiced animated characters. She’ll be there live to help animate O.A.R.’s concert at Stage AE. Doors open at 5:30 p.m., music 6:30 p.m. 400 North Shore Dr., North Shore. (C.M., M.V.)
