'An Evening with O.A.R.' April 8 at Pershing Center

Lincoln, Neb., April 1st, 2004 — The indie band O.A.R. will appear at Lincoln's Pershing Center, 226 Centennial Mall South, on April 8 in "An Evening with O.A.R.," presented by the University Program Council at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.

After four releases, including its 2002 double live CD, "Any Time Now," which has sold nearly 100,000 copies, O.A.R made a transition with its album "In Between Now and Then." One of the most successful indie bands ever, O.A.R.'s recipe for an infectious, joy-filled breezy cruise through rock and folk is seasoned with what the band likes to call island vibe roots rock with pinches of ska and reggae.

Pershing Center doors open at 7 p.m. with the show beginning at 8. UNL students with valid student IDs may purchase tickets for $15 in advance or $20 day of show at the Information Desk at the Nebraska Union, 1400 R St., and at the Pershing Center. The general public may purchase tickets at the Pershing Center, all Ticketmaster locations, ticketmaster.com or by phone at (402) 475-1212 in Lincoln or (402) 422-1212 in Omaha. Ticket prices for the general public are $22 in advance or $27 day of show.
