Straight No Chaser
The guys return home as part of their nationwide Holiday Road Tour.
Event Description
Look up “holiday music” in the dictionary, and it’s likely that there is a photo of the a cappella group Straight No Chaser instead of a standard definition. For more than two decades, the group that got its start at IU has provided the soundtrack of the season, bringing millions of fans to their feet while putting them in the holiday spirit. Year after year, fans anxiously await the moment they can officially hit play on Straight No Chaser favorites. And this year is no different.
Straight No Chaser is back returning to IU Auditorium as part of its Holiday Road tour, serving up an all-you-can-eat buffet of holiday music (with none of the calories). The nine-man act of Walter Chase, Jerome Collins, Seggie Isho, Michael Luginbill, Steve Morgan, Jasper Smith, Luke Bob Robinson, Tyler Trepp, and Freedom Young, has served as a festive blend of harmonious voices for more than 25 years. Even though the group has been together for a quarter of a century, the thrill of performing holiday songs for old and new fans alike is not lost on them, especially when they return to Bloomington, where it all began.
