ABOUT STRAIGHT NO CHASER:
When Straight No Chaser - a 10-man a cappella group originally formed by college buddies at Indiana University more than a decade ago - first began, none of its members ever imagined being featured on national TV or topping the charts. A dozen years later, the group's major-label debut, "HOLIDAY SPIRITS," went on to sell more than 110,000 copies. Fueled by appearances on ABC World News Tonight, CNN Headline News, and the Today show, among others, the album spent 14 days in the #1 slot on Amazon, and 5 days at the top spot overall on iTunes. The group's now famous version of "The 12 Days of Christmas" peaked in the top 10 on the Christmas radio chart and reached the top 15 at Hot AC. On their first-ever headline tour in December 2008, Straight No Chaser sold out shows across the country. "Back in college, we started this group just for fun-no one ever thought of it as a possible career path," says original member Randy Stine. "It's hard to comprehend that ten years after our last performance, we'd be back together recording for a major label with an album that reached number one on iTunes, heading out on a international 50-city tour. Along with all the fun is a lot of work, but it's a complete labor of love, and one that we never dreamed a possibility." In the process, they are reinventing the idea of a cappella on the modern pop landscape. 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. The original line-up of Straight No Chaser released three albums, which sold over 50,000 copies. The key to their success was the unique approach and attitude that they brought to the art of a cappella. Straight No Chaser forged a unique style based on a combination of musical brilliance balanced with a healthy dose of self-deprecating humor. "We would dip into something contemporary that you wouldn't think an a cappella group could pull off. But instead of having people say, ‘Oh that was funny,' we wanted them to say, ‘Wow, I can't believe they did that,'" Randy explains. "But at the same time, we'd try to make each other laugh on stage, because if we weren't having fun, how could the audience be enjoying the show? If we had a good time on stage, then the audience would have a good time as well." Their upcoming shows at the Park West and Chicago Theatre are both sold out.
