Straight No Chaser

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 are neither strait-laced nor straight-faced, but neither are they vaudeville-style kitsch. Originally formed over a dozen years ago while students together at Indiana University, STRAIGHT NO CHASER has reassembled and reemerged as a phenomenon - with a massive fan base, more than 20 million views on YouTube, and numerous national TV appearances. On the road, STRAIGHT NO CHASER has built a reputation as an unforgettable live act.  sncmusic.com
