On The Rocks

University of Oregon

On The Rocks is a Collegiate a cappella group from the University of Oregon. The group was founded in 1999, the first official collegiate a cappella group in Oregon. It has since flourished into one of the top collegiate groups in the nation. OTR has gained national notoriety through its dedication to quality, ensemble, and above, all, cutting loose on stage. Perhaps most notable is the group’s 2nd place in the International Championship of Collegiate A Cappella 2003, and 3rd place the previous year. OTR has also reached viral status with their YouTube videos of Rick Astley’s “Never Gonna Give You Up,” and Lady Gaga’s “Bad Romance.” OTR has toured on the west and east coasts, and also Canada. Recently, the group traveled to Berkeley, CA for the West Coast A Cappella Showcase. OTR has toured San Francisco, San Diego, Los Angeles, Pomona, New York, New Haven, and Boston, and hopes to tour more in the future.
