We dive in with Marc Roberge of O.A.R. to talk about songs he’s written, including “That Was a Crazy Game of Poker,” “Peace,” “Home,” and “Love and Memories.” We also explore the music that shaped how he hears and writes songs, from Crowded House and UB40 to Bob Marley and Led Zeppelin.

Marc reflects on building a band with the same group of friends for nearly 30 years, from an eighth-grade talent show to selling out Madison Square Garden. Along the way, we talk about songwriting, work ethic, longevity, and why recordings like Bob Marley’s “Stir It Up” and Pearl Jam’s “Footsteps” still inspire him today.

It’s a relaxed, honest conversation about creativity, band chemistry, and the long road of building a life in music.
