Christmas Cheers
On December 31, 2007, the 10 members of Straight No Chaser were just ordinary guys living their lives in cities all over the world. Then on January 1, 2008, all of that changed. Because of a video of €˜The 12 Days of Christmas' that was filmed in 1998 and went €˜viral' on Youtube that holiday season, the former Indiana University a cappella group was asked to come back together and record a Christmas album for Atlantic Records. The album appropriately titled €˜Holiday Spirits' went on to sell over 110,000 copies while the media honed in on the sensation all throughout the holiday season. Straight No Chaser was featured in the New York Times, Dr. Phil, Fox & Friends, The Today Show, Christmas In Washington (TNT), ABC World News, CNN Headline News and more!
After a whirlwind of success and development during the 2008 holiday season, Straight No Chaser is currently back in the studio recording their second holiday album titled €˜Christmas Cheers' including original music such as " The Christmas Can Can'. Sticking to the formula that made them both a novelty and a sensation, "Christmas Cheers" is a collection of both new and classic holiday songs with smooth harmonies and a comedic twist. To support the new release, the guys will embark on a 50 city nationwide tour starting October until December 23rd and will also be performing alongside Barry Manilow at the Hollywood Bowl on October 24th (do not announce yet). With the holiday coming up fast, it's time to bring on the cheer and get ready for another round of Straight No Chaser!
