An embracing couple sways to “Let's Hurt Tonight.” A young man dances in the aisle to “Wherever I Go.” Best friends clap to “Love Runs Out.” A middle-aged woman sings along to “Counting Stars.”
Meanwhile, you’re soaking it all in. You want to remember every sight, sound, smell, and feeling you’re experiencing at a OneRepublic concert.
Why? OneRepublic is your favorite band.
Chances are good, you’re OneRepublic’s favorite fan. Sure, you’re tied for first with a bazillion others, but you’re number one nonetheless.
That’s because Ryan Tedder, Drew Brown, Brent Kutzle , Zach Filkins, and Eddie Fisher love their fans. Not only is OneRepublic one of the best pop-rock bands on the planet, but they’re also fan-friendly, down-to-Earth, and accessible.
In 2005, One Republic was dropped by their record label two months before their debut album was to be released. The band began promoting themselves on the internet and did so with great success.
They eventually released their first opus, Dreaming Out Loud, in 2007. It peaked at #14, was certified gold, and earned a Grammy Award nomination.
