    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… think again.

    STRAIGHT NO CHASER, is reinventing the idea of a cappella on the modern pop landscape with the captivating sound of 10 human voices coming together to make extraordinary moving music. Originally formed in 1996 while students at Indiana University in Bloomington, the group has become a phenomenon – with a massive fan base, over 20 million views on YouTube, numerous national TV appearances, 2 holiday releases, 2008’s “Holiday Spirits” and 2009’s “Christmas Cheers.” “With a Twist”, the third release marks a departure from holiday music with "I'm Yours" with Israel Kamakawiwoole's treatment of The Wizard of Oz classic "Somewhere Over the Rainbow," vamping its way through Soft Cell's "Tainted Love," Queen's "Your My Best Friend," Oasis' "Wonderwall," Coldplay's "Fix You" and the Red Hot Chili Peppers' "Under the Bridge," and featuring fan Barry Manilow for a buoyant version of his "One Voice."

    When the founders began graduating in 1999 and went on to jobs mostly outside of music, they chose replacements and established SNC as an ongoing group on campus with future generations of ambitious I.U. undergrads. More than 50 members have passed through the group's ranks so far.
