About Where’s Aubrey

My band Where’s Aubrey has played a number of live concerts featuring all original music (including the four date Where’s Aubrey World Tour in 2007). All of our live concerts are benefits for various non-profit endeavors, including the Shenandoah River Keeper, Habitat for Humanity, the downstream project, the Blue Ridge Hospice, and the Blue Ridge Wildlife Center. We are proud to give back to our community and we thank our audiences for their generosity.

Blue Ridge Habitat for Humanity 

Beginning in 1942, built on a story of radical acceptance of all people and greatly challenged by the politics of the 1950s, Habitat for Humanity comes from the commitment to racial equality, pacifism, and economic sharing of the people of Koinonia Farm.

You too can help create a world where everyone has a safe and decent place to live. We’re proud to be helping Habitat start up its services in Clarke County Virginia. Donate here.
