Upon its release on June 10th, The Rockville LP hit the top spot on the iTunes Rock Albums chart and #3 on iTunes Overall Albums chart. O.A.R. has been riding high propelled by the success of their hit single, “Peace,” which hit #1 this week on the iTunes Rock Singles chart coupled with television performances on The Today Show, Conan, VH1’s Big Morning Buzz Live and a national tour.

O.A.R. is currently in the midst of a 24-city co-headlining tour with Phillip Phillips, which kicked off in St. Louis on June 12 and wraps up in Atlanta on July 26. Cleveland’s Plain Dealer newspaper called O.A.R. “visionary,” in a recent feature in advance of their show this Friday at Jacobs Pavilion at Nautica.

For every ticket sold on the tour, O.A.R. and Phillip Phillips are donating $1 to Habitat for Humanity. The tour will also host online auctions for a VIP experience in each city, including two premium tickets and an opportunity to meet with the artists. Proceeds from the auctions will go to directly local Habitat affiliates.
