The Delilahs also perform regularly throughout the year. In 1998 Davidson Androgyny was created as a response to the absence of a co-ed a cappella group on campus. Androgyny has released four albums, "Everything But The Piano" (2001), "The A Capocalypse" (2003), "A Class Act" (2008), and their latest album "iCapella" in spring 2011. The group also sang "I'm Yours" with platinum recording artist Jason Mraz on his "Music, Magic, and Make Peace Tour" stop at Davidson College on April 19, 2008.
