Straight No Chaser Concert Schedule

Straight No Chaser is a professional acapella group that began as a student singing group at Indiana University in 1996. Their fourth EP, Six Pack: Volume 3, was released in July 2017. Straight No Chaser tours include the 2017 Speakeasy Tour, 2017 Double Feature Tour, 2016 I'll Have Another... 20th Anniversary World Tour, 2015 The New Old Fashioned Tour, 2013 Under The Influence Tour, 2014 Happy Hour Tour, 2013 Straight No Chaser Tour, 2012 Straight No Chaser Tour and the 2010 SNC Winter Tour. They toured extensively during their early years together, playing at venues like the Old National Centre, and took periodic breaks from their demanding touring schedule to perform in residence at the Harrah's Resort and Casino in Atlantic City, New Jersey. Straight No Chaser live shows aren't what you'd expect from an all-male a capella group. Their shows are filled with comedy, cheeky choreography, cool lighting and a capella versions of today's Billboard hits, regardless of genre. All Straight No Chaser's albums have charted on the Billboard charts, with 2013's Under The Influence being their highest charting album today at No. 28. Straight No Chaser won the CARA award for Best Holiday Album for their 2008 release Holiday Spirits and was nominated for Best Holiday Song "Carol Of The Bells" from the same album.

Straight No Chaser Background

Straight No Chaser started off as an a capella group at Indiana University. In 2007, a 1998 video of the group singing "The 12 Days of Christmas" of Christmas went viral on YouTube and led to Craig Kallman, CEO of Atlantic Records, offering them a five-album record deal. The original line-up consisted of Dan Ponce, Randy Stine, Charlie Mechling, Steve Morgan, Jerome Collins, Dave Roberts, Walter Chase, Mike Itkoff and Patrick Hachey. Their name was inspired by Thelonious Monk's 1967 album Straight, No Chaser. Current members of Straight No Chaser include Randy Stine, Michael Luginbill, David Roberts, Charlie Mechling, Jerome Collins, Walter Chase, Sargon Isho, Tyler Trepp and Steve Morgan. The band's success has led to appearances on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, a PBS Christmas Special and a residency at Harrah's Casino in Atlantic City.

    Puts me in the Christmas Spirit

    by Timmy D on 12/23/23Embassy Theatre - Fort Wayne

    I've gone to see SNC annually just before Christmas for the past 10 years or so. Each year they put on a great show and help me get into the Christmas mood. Great show, I'd highly recommend!!

    So creative!

    by Bammer on 12/21/23Old National Events Plaza - Evansville

    Whoever writes and re-writes this group’s arrangements does an awesome job! We enjoyed every song and especially the final song with no electronic help.

    Amazing concert

    by P.A. on 12/20/23Old National Events Plaza - Evansville

    Signage in the events Plaza could be better directing people to the appropriate floor/ section but that's my only concern. Even though I was in the top tier of the theater I was very well pleased with the seats. It was easy entry and exit to the actual Auditorium.Acoustics were great and the two hours of the concert flew by which is a good sign that I was very well entertained. I would see them again as well as recommend them to others for an evening of 1st class entertainment.

    Great Holiday kickoff

    by Reno53 on 12/20/23Old National Events Plaza - Evansville

    SNC concert was the perfect kickoff to the Christmas weekend. The first half of the concert was a review of popular music, while the second half was devoted to Christmas oriented music. These guys are insanely talented, and provided 2 hours of music magic, all without backing instruments! Simply amazing! Will definitely go again next year! Merry Christmas!!

    Great show! Great seats!

    by Laylia on 12/20/23Old National Events Plaza - Evansville

    We thoroughly enjoyed all of the show. Notable highlights: the Taylor Swift medley, the Toto medley, holiday songs and learning how the one member became and perfected his beatbox abilities. The dad jokes were cute especially the intro of the members with punny occupational digs.

    "Dazzling performance", literally

    by Mark on 12/18/23Akron Civic Theatre - Akron

    I have enjoyed Straight No Chaser since seeing their version of The 12-days of Christmas on YouTube years ago. The Civic is a beautiful theater so I was thrilled to get front row center loge seats for the Sleighing It Tour in Akron. The warm-up act, 3-T did a nice job with a few songs of their own. The members of Straight No Chaser (SNC) were very personable and engaged well with the audience. Performance quality was top notch for every piece they performed. Very entertaining and we enjoyed every song. The performance received a well-deserved standing ovation. 5-stars all the way. The show utilized a simple set with three risers backed by a large video screen and lots of lighting effects giving each piece a unique feel. This is where I would give them/the Civic less than 5-stars. The production lighting design utilized lots of side and back lighting (to prevent washing out the video screen) but often insufficient front lighting. This made it difficult to see their faces during many numbers. It left me with the feeling that they assumed they would have follow spots or some other form of front lighting that wasn't present. Some of the numbers which did not include video screen content were lighted more effectively, with the faces of SNC clearly visible. The lighting design also included floor mounted lights upstage left, right and center. These lights were occasionally rotated forward toward the audience and into the eyes of everyone sitting above floor level. This lighting effect may have looked neat from floor level but was really distracting for all of us in the loge or balcony levels. My wife had to close her eyes during several of their numbers because of these lights. I don't know if the lighting / lighting design traveled with SNC or was provided by The Akron Civic. If it traveled with SNC I guess it could be excused because every house will be different and in other venues the balcony may not be so adversely affected by the floor mounted lights. If it was by the Civic, they should know where the balcony sight lines are and have addressed the potentially distressing issue caused by these lights. Overall SNC did a wonderful job and we would go to see them again, but I encourage them to assess the balance between video screen content and live performance quality.

    Fantastic!

    by KB on 12/18/23MGM Music Hall at Fenway - Boston

    One of the best shows I’ve ever been to! I had no idea what to expect but by the end of the show, I was ready to make this a tradition. 10/10 recommend seeing SNC!

    first time

    by theb on 12/17/23Akron Civic Theatre - Akron

    first time seeing this group. not disappointed they were fantastic. can't wait to get the opportunity to see them again. good mix of songs. and the commentary in between songs was cute and funny. But favorite song was the last- when they did their old school acapella. even in the balcony you could hear how beautiful it was.

    A new holiday tradition...

    by Kate on 12/17/23Akron Civic Theatre - Akron

    This is the second year we've seen SNC before Christmas, and they did not disappoint. We brought our friends along this time and we all loved it. The talent, creativity, and hilarity of this group is pure wow from start until the stunning end. We wil be back next year. Worth every penny.
