A cappella sensations Straight No Chaser will be performing at the NYCB Theatre at Westbury on Sunday, July 13 at 7 p.m.
Straight No Chase formed in 1996 at Indiana University and their captivating sound comes from the 10 unadulterated human voices coming together to make extraordinary music that is moving people in a fundamental sense… and with a sense of humor.
The group has collected more than 20 million views on YouTube videos building a massive fan base. SNC’s contemporary repertoire and dynamic approach sent the group straight to headlining concerts. To date they have released four full-length albums; Holiday Spirits, Christmas Cheers, With A Twist and Under The Influence. Their music has been recognized on top charts such as Billboard 200, Amazon and iTunes’s sales chart.
With A Twist marked Straight No Chaser’s first full-length departure from holiday music. Christmas, however, has been good for SNC. The group’s 2008 debut, Holiday Spirits, hit No. 4 on Billboard’s Top Holiday Albums chart and spent two weeks in the No. 1 slot on Amazon and five days atop the iTunes sales chart. Its version of “The 12 Days of Christmas,” which incorporates Toto’s “Africa,” went Top 5 on the Adult Contemporary chart and was Top 10 on the Christmas radio chart. The subsequent Christmas Cheers in 2009 was No. 6 Top Holiday Albums and rolled into the Billboard 200 at No. 38, while “The Christmas Can-Can” kicked its way to No. 18 on the Adult Contemporary Tracks chart. Their latest album, Under The Influence, features guest artists; Sara Bareilles, Phil Collins, Elton John, Jason Mraz, Dolly Parton, Seal, Rob Thomas and Stevie Wonder. The boys were even asked by John Mellencamp to perform a private show at his home.
