Straight No Chaser to Deck the Halls at IU Auditorium on December 13
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Straight No Chaser, the captivating a cappella group renowned for their harmonies and dynamic performances, is set to light up the stage at IU Auditorium on December 13 at 7:30 p.m. as part of their current Sleighin' It tour.
Hailing from Indiana University, Straight No Chaser has garnered global acclaim for their unique blend of vocal talent and innovative arrangements. Their annual holiday tour promises to bring joy, laughter, and holiday cheer to audiences of all ages.
“We can’t wait to welcome back IU’s very own Straight No Chaser as part of their Sleighin’ It tour,” said IU Auditorium Executive Director Maria Talbert. “Their harmonious voices and infectious energy have become a beloved tradition here, and each year we look forward to this special performance to cap off the semester. Get ready for another unforgettable evening as the guys return once again to where it all began.”
The nine-man act of Walter Chase, Jerome Collins, Seggie Isho, Michael Luginbill, Steve Morgan, Jasper Smith, Randy Stine, Tyler Trepp, and Freedom Young has served as a festive blend of harmonious voices for more than two and a half decades, having recently celebrated their 25th anniversary. 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.
To date, the band has sold more than three million albums worldwide, sold more than 1.5 million tickets worldwide, earned 100 million+ YouTube views, and racked up over one billion streams.
Alongside their successful headlining tours, the group has had dozens of major television performances and collaborated with artists such as Sir Paul McCartney, Sir Elton John, and Stevie Wonder. Their most recent album, Yacht on the Rocks, even included a collaboration with Toto’s David Paich. In addition, two of their eight LPs, Holiday Spirits and Christmas Cheers, have been RIAA-Certified Gold.
