The History:
8 Men Out was formed in March of 2003 and has been performing around the Rochester and Upstate New York area for
the past 2 years. The group, which is run by it's members, was formed by Matt Zager, Andrew Rohlin and Logan
Wright . 8 Men Out arranges their own music and models themselves after a standard collegiate male a cappella group.
After spending 2 1/2 years together, the boys decided to disband, because all but one of the members had graduated from high
school. With two CDs under the belt, "Can't Stand Alone"(2003) and "Break In"(2005), the group ended on a high note,
performing a final, farewell concert on June 2005. Even though the group isn't officially together, there are plans
in the works for a Reunion Concert in December 2005.
