MUSIC NEWS - The a cappella phenom, Straight No Chaser continues to spread holiday cheer this season. The 10-man a cappella group, originally formed by college buddies at Indiana University more over a decade ago, continues to climb the charts with their new holiday collection, CHRISTMAS CHEERS, (out via ATCO/ Atlantic) as well as their 2008 debut, HOLIDAY SPIRITS. As Straight No Chaser continues their nearly sold-out Fall/Winter tour, they announced plans to return for a just announced Spring 2010 tour (itinerary below).
Don't forget to watch for them on the Christmas Day edition of NBC’s The Today Show, performing holiday favorites throughout the broadcast and watch for broadcasts of their PBS special, Live In New York: Holiday Edition. It's proven a massive success, and was quickly picked up by stations across the country and is airing throughout the USA on many stations'December Pledge Drive (check local listings at sncmusic.com). The concert was filmed this past August at New York City’s famed Angel Orensanz Foundation.
And, if you haven't yet, see the group’s brand new music video for Who Spiked the Eggnog?.
