Who we are:

We are Augmented Fourth, an a capella quartet singing sacred, barbershop, and other music. We formed the quartet during our sophomore year at Hillsdale College, and performed extensively in our time there. Rather than graduate and part ways forever, we plan to stick together! This summer we will drive across the country to share the gifts and talents we've been given with our friends, family, and anyone else who loves music. Our set of sacred music composes most of this summer's concerts, although we might throw in some barbershop along the way. E-mail us at augmentedfourthquartet@gmail.com for more information!

Augmented Fourth Quartet

Welcome to the Augmented Fourth blog!

We are Allen Zarcone, Thomas Cox, Nathaniel Pullmann, and Keaton Christiansen, soon to be graduates of Hillsdale College. We started singing together in our sophomore year of college, and have been singing ever since. We thought it would be fun to take a road trip and visit all our friends in the summer after graduation. Then the idea moved beyond just a lark for us-- we could sing for all of our friends and their communities while we were there.

We have a concert of sacred music prepared, and would perform that set of music to glorify God along the way. We would sing for churches where our friends lived, and at arts festivals or where ever we could find an opportunity. As we considered the idea, we realized that it just might work (the Lord willing and gas prices don't rise). I'll add more about this topic later. For now, I have to finish my midterms (!!!).

I intend this place to be somewhere where we will post updates about our trip: pictures, laudatory comments about hospitable communities, musings from four liberally educated college grads, and, of course quotes from Tom. Always those.

Today's Tom Quote: "How is that nerdy? Knowing the historiography of the ancient world? That's not nerdy at all!"

Under the Mercy,
