April 7, 2006

The Octaves, the University of Richmond’s men’s a cappella group, was nominated this year for two Contemporary A Cappella Recording Awards by the Contemporary A Cappella Society.

The group’s CD “Corner Pocket” was nominated for best male collegiate album, and one of the cuts, “For Me This Is Heaven,” was nominated for best male collegiate song.

“For Me This Is Heaven” also was chosen for “The Top Shelf A Cappella Compilation,” a CD that was released by CASA last month. The compilation includes songs from a cappella groups from 10 universities across the nation.

The Octaves were founded in 1990, and they have performed for audiences from Maine to Florida. “Corner Pocket” is their seventh album.
