Heading recycling-awareness programs, donating song proceeds to paralyzed Veterans, going on a USO tour—OAR seems to be a group of do-gooders just moonlighting as a Billboard-dominating, platinum-selling band. Currently on a 15-city tour, OAR stops by the Grove of Anaheim this week to test out a little material from their seventh studio album (singer Marc Roberge says it’s a bit of throwback to the group’s early sound), which has a rumored release date of early 2011. Joining the islandy, reggae-influenced jam band will be OC’s own radio darlings, the Dirty Heads, creating a good-vibe show that will, if anything, set your mind right.
