Catch the holiday spirit at Straight No Chaser's Indianapolis concert
The 10-member men's a cappella group Straight No Chaser will perform at the Murat Theatre, 502 North New Jersey St., Indianapolis at 7:30 p.m. Dec. 5. The group was founded at IU in 1996 at Indiana University Bloomington. Today, Straight No Chaser still remains at IU with different students. The upcoming performance in Indianapolis will feature the original group. In the fall of 2008, ATCO/Atlantic Records unveiled a rather unlikely major label release. It was an album of Christmas music recorded by Straight No Chaser -- a group that hadn't sung together since their college days a decade earlier. The result was a most improbable success story and a true musical phenomenon. Tickets are $22.50-$30 and are on sale now.
