Straight No Chaser (SNC), the nine-voice male a cappella group with a massive fanbase and a sense of humor, brings its “Making Spirits Bright Tour” to Reynolds Performance Hall on the University of Central Arkansas campus Wednesday, Nov. 4, at 7 p.m. Tickets range from $34.50 to $57.50 for adults.
If the phrase “male a cappella group” conjures up students in blue blazers, ties and khakis singing traditional college songs on ivied campuses, think again. Straight No Chaser is neither straight-laced nor straight-faced, but neither is it vaudeville-style kitsch. The group is the captivating sound of nine unadulterated human voices coming together to make extraordinary music that moves people in a fundamental sense, with a sense of humor.
SNC has built a long list of accomplishments, including:
- 2 RIAA Gold Certified albums
- Over 1.5 million concert tickets sold
- Over 1 billion streams on Pandora
- Over 2 million albums sold worldwide
“Straight No Chaser is the real deal,” Amanda Horton, executive director of UCA Public Appearances, said. “They are definitely a fan favorite, and we expect this show to be a sell-out!”
Performance Partners for “Straight No Chaser: Making Spirits Bright” are the Arkansas Times and Bananagraphics.
