On the road, Straight No Chaser has built a reputation as an unforgettable live act. Straight No Chaser is the real deal, the captivating sound of nine unadulterated human voices coming together to make extraordinary music that is moving people in a fundamental sense.
They have emerged as a phenomenon with a massive fan base, numerous national TV appearances and proven success with CD releases. Straight No Chaser (SNC) are neither strait-laced nor straight-faced, but neither are they vaudeville-style kitsch. If the phrase “male a cappella group” conjures up an image of students in blue blazers, ties, and khakis singing traditional college songs on ivied campuses.

The resulting With a Twist appeared in 2010, marking the group's first non-holiday album. For the group's next record, Straight No Chaser tackled modern pop hits by bands like Red Hot Chili Peppers, Coldplay, and Oasis. They also toured heavily, and 2009 found them releasing another holiday album, Christmas Cheers. Straight No Chaser released their first album, a seasonal effort named Holiday Spirits, in 2008.
All but two of the original members signed up. One such viewer was Atlantic Records Chairman/CEO Craig Kallman, who flew the singers to New York and ultimately offered Straight No Chaser a recording contract. Subsequently, video clips of the concert were posted on YouTube and started gathering hundreds of views. In 2006, a reunion show was planned for the founding members of Straight No Chaser at Indiana University, and a DVD recording of a 1998 concert was released. The original lineup of Straight No Chaser released several albums, toured the Midwest, and even competed nationally at Carnegie Hall before the students graduated and went their separate ways. Various local performances, including a storied early-morning appearance at the university's annual 36-hour dance marathon, caught the public's attention and helped the ensemble gather a fan base on campus. Taking an unconventional approach, Straight No Chaser began working up a repertoire that included not only traditional songs, but also modern pop tunes performed without the use of instruments. From the opening to its end, this is flawless. Jerome Collins solos again, and I almost thought he was a carbon copy of Stevie Wonder. Not only does it sound like the Motown hit, the fun is contagious. 'Signed Sealed Delivered Im Yours' is my favorite song.
Straight No Chaser were the only male a cappella vocal ensemble on campus when the group formed at Indiana University in 1996. The bits Straight No Chaser threw in clashed with what they started out with.
