Straight No Chaser are a 10-man a capella group, and they're touring all across Canada this month.
Originally formed over 12 years ago while students at Indiana University, the group has reassembled and reemerged with a massive fanbase, (more than 20 million views on YouTube), numerous national TV appearances, and proven success with their releases, HOLIDAY SPIRITS, CHRISTMAS CHEERS and WITH A TWIST. In an era in the music biz when so much 'pop' music is the product of digital processing, Straight No Chaser is the real deal - they are ten voices coming together to make extraordinary music that is moving people in a fundamental sense… and with a sense of humor.
Here are the boys performing I'm Yours/Somewhere Over The Rainbow...
And because it's one of my all time favourite tracks...here is their take on 'Wonderwall' by Oasis:
Hmm wonder if I can convince them to try their skills at covering 'Bittersweet Symphony' by The Verve. Just saying. But I digress.
