Seasons Greetings! Welcome to our 2nd Annual Holiday Video Montage.  Please watch this space for an announcement about our 30th annual Sing Out For Shelter concert, to benefit two of D.C.’s worthiest charities supporting people experiencing homelessness.

For almost 30 years, the Augmented 8 has hosted “Sing Out for Shelter” to raise funds for Christ House, Friendship Place, and Metropolitan House to support the work they do for persons experiencing homelessness in Washington, D.C.

Scott O’Gorman, who died April 3, 2020 at the age of 87, was a beloved member of the Augmented 8. He sang with the group for over forty years from 1964 to the early 2000’s.
