Description:

If the phrase "male a cappella group" conjures up an image of students in blue blazers, ties, and khakis singing traditional
college songs on ivied campuses... think again. Straight No Chaser (SNC) are neither strait-laced nor straight-faced, but
neither are they vaudeville-style kitsch. As original member Randy Stine comments, "We take the music very seriously;
we just don’t take ourselves too seriously." In the process, they are reinventing the idea of a cappella on the modern pop
landscape.
Originally formed over a dozen years ago while students together at Indiana University, the group has reassembled
and reemerged as a phenomenon – with a massive fanbase, over 20 million views on YouTube, numerous national TV
appearances, and proven success with two holiday releases, 2008’s HOLIDAY SPIRITS and 2009’s CHRISTMAS
CHEERS. In an era when so much pop music is the product of digital processing and vocal pro-tooling, Straight No Chaser is
the real deal – the captivating sound of ten unadulterated human voices coming together to make extraordinary music that is
moving people in a fundamental sense... and with a sense of humor.
