Marking the 10th Anniversary of their break-out album Holiday Spirits. Founded at Indiana University and discovered on YouTube, this a cappella group mixes stunning vocals with lively performances for unique spins on contemporary standards ranging from Charlie Puth and Bruno Mars to Bob Dylan. For their latest release, Six Pack: Volume 3, the group puts its stamp on rock classics as well as contemporary pop hits, including “Sweet Dreams/HandClap” (a mashup of the Eurythmics and Fitz and the Tantrums) and a show-stopping “Beyonce Medley.”
The upcoming tour coincides with the 10th anniversary of Straight No Chaser signing with Atlantic Records and releasing their debut album, Holiday Spirits after a video of the group performing “Twelve Days of Christmas” went viral on YouTube and became the most viewed video of 2007.
Following the 2008 release of Holiday Spirits, The New York Times predicted ” this may be the year’s most unlikely major label story.” Now, 10 years later with six full length albums and four EPs under their belt, the group will hit the road to celebrate and invite fans to join them on the One Shot Tour. Additionally, Straight No Chaser is currently working on new music, with more details to come over the next few months.
